Researchers at the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston University (BU) have ...

Robert Signer, PhD, is a stem cell biologist whose research on protein synthesis and homeostasis in hematopoietic stem cells has opened the door to unchartered areas of cellular investigation. He is ...

Blind people have been offered fresh hope of seeing again after lab-grown cells restored retinal function in mice. The breakthrough shows promise for new eye therapies, say American scientists.

The main obstacle to using “reprogrammed” human stem cells – the danger that they might turn cancerous – has been solved, claims a US company. PrimeGen, based in Irvine, California, says that its ...

A company acclaimed for producing embryonic stem cells without destroying human embryos is facing allegations of “hyping” the breakthrough. Early press reports of the breakthrough, including a press ...

One of the most enduring goals in regenerative medicine is deceptively simple: replace a person's damaged or dying cells with healthy new ones grown in the laboratory. Researchers at Harvard Medical ...

Embryonic stem cell (ESC) research holds the potential to completely revolutionize the world of regenerative medicine, yet it is often met with ethical resistance. Here I would like to argue that ...
