An aging expert thinks humans can live for 20,000 years—and he might not be crazy. There's one major key to unlocking extreme ...

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells. The discovery, published in ...

The Mohammed VI Foundation for Science and Health (FM6SS) has announced a groundbreaking achievement in the field of ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to reprogram adult tissue to become cells as versatile as embryonic stem cells—without the addition of extra genes that could increase the risk of ...

The human cells reprogrammed as TNT-iPSCs were a much closer match to human embryonic stem cells from both a molecular and functional standpoint, compared to iPSCs created the typical way. The study ...

Researchers have identified key factors that promote the reprogramming of human stem cells to the naïve state, which can be used to model the earliest stages of development. This new knowledge ...

Scientists have developed a mechanism to directly reprogram stem cells into motor neurons. The development gives hope to the estimated 6,000 people in the US diagnosed with ALS each year.

“By reprogramming human cells, scientists have created new opportunities to study diseases and develop methods for diagnosis and therapy,” the Nobel judges wrote.

Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) researchers, representing five Harvard departments and affiliated institutions as well as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have demonstrated that ...

Adult cells have reprogrammed into stem cells in a petri dish since 2006, but stem cells from embryos, like those shown above, typically are able to generate more kinds of adult cells. However ...
