For the first time, researchers have discovered and isolated adult stem cells from a non-human primate. This finding could ...

Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body that divide to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in ...

Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in ...

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem ...

Not only do neural progenitors persist in the adult brain, but many of these cells are in active stages of division.

The team suspects that neurogenesis happens in other parts of the adult brain, too. In mice, new neurons are regularly made ...

In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka, of Kyoto University, avoided that ethical controversy when he discovered that adult skin cells can be removed from the body and genetically reprogrammed to revert to a ...

Now, researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet say they’ve found the clearest answer yet. They report the discovery of ...

After years of debate, scientists provided new evidence for the lifelong birth of human brain cells, which may inform future ...
