Her passion came from her son’s struggle with type 1 diabetes and the inability to find new treatments.

Most of the human induced pluripotent stem cells stored at major cell line repositories and used in research harbor thousands of DNA errors, a study finds, highlighting the need for improved quality control measures.

Using stem cells and a bioreactor, researchers generated living embryos that survived for more than a week and began to develop internal organs.

The former thoracic surgeon was acquitted on two counts of intentional assault but convicted on a single count of felony bodily injury for a series of fatal procedures in the early 2010s.

Researchers report they were able to make functional sperm in a dish, a feat previously only possible for mice.

Umbilical cord blood may be a good alternative to bone marrow transplants for treating HIV in patients with HIV and cancer.

A pool of neural stem cells that ordinarily lies dormant in the brains of adult mice spawns two types of never-before-documented glial cells when artificially reactivated, potentially pointing to a novel mechanism of brain plasticity.

Removal of the 14-day limit for culturing human embryos is one of the main changes in the revised recommendations from the International Society for Stem Cell Research.

From his student days in veterinary medicine in Ethiopia to running a lab on metastasis at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Debeb has a passion for understanding how living things work.

The state will take on additional debt to finance CIRM, which will now continue to fund stem cell research, training, and clinical trials.

If approved, Proposition 14 would authorize the state to sell $5.5 billion in bonds to extend the life of CIRM, which funds stem cell research. The ballot measure has its critics.

Almost 60 percent of people in a new study on attitudes in the US felt comfortable using animals to grow human organs from induced pluripotent stem cells.

A study in mice reveals that stem cell transplants, currently in clinical trials, may not actually require the cells.

Extended pluripotent stem cells from mice can self-organize to form blastocyst-like structures called blastoids that enable a closer look at early mammalian development.

The new policy will increase scrutiny and pressure on stem cell clinics, according to industry experts.

The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has been funding research since it formed in 2004, giving out nearly $3 billion in grants to date.

Lab-grown stem cells fill in for damaged tissue in the noses of mice.

Scientists fiddle with formulas to boost the growth of their stem cell cultures.

The university argues that the law prohibiting the use of aborted fetal tissue for research is unconstitutional.
