AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

Blood stem cells have been grown in a laboratory for the first time in a breakthrough that could end the need for bone marrow donors. Currently, people suffering with conditions such as leukaemia, ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

The Adelson Collection Center has always been known for its signature warm, inviting environment and concierge-style donor experience. With the increased capacity, more donors can be scheduled each ...

When it comes to stem cells, too much of a good thing isn't wonderful: producing too many new stem cells may lead to cancer; producing too few inhibits the repair and maintenance of the body. In a ...

Researchers have developed a method to confidently produce blood cell precursors from stem cells in mice, by activating a set of seven key genes in the laboratory. The team takes a step forward ...

The New York Stem Cell Foundation, a $23-million-a-year biomedical nonprofit, was acquired by the Jackson Laboratory as part of a move to expand automation in life sciences research. The acquisition, ...

Funding supports safety studies, manufacturing and clinical planning needed before applying to test the treatment in patients ...

A research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell ...

Magnified images show the increase in blood stem cell production that occurred when a second wave of inflammatory signaling was delayed in zebrafish embryos. The blood stem cells are colored green.
