While regeneration has long been the domain of colonial tunicates, a solitary species of sea squirt was able to regenerate into multiple, fully functional individuals within a month of being cut up.

Human stem cells injected into early monkey embryos proliferate and contribute to multiple cell lineages over 20 days of embryonic development.

A study has sparked controversy by suggesting that cells made using a popular lab protocol have been misidentified, with potentially serious repercussions for brain research. Critics say the significance of the findings has been overstated.

The pandemic spurred innovation in a variety of ways, from CRISPR-based diagnostics to cell biology benchwork at home.

A mouse model demonstrates that mutations in stomach stem cells can drive gastric cancer growth.

Stem cells from nine snake species respond to tissue culturing techniques previously used only on mouse and human stem cells.

The Stanford University professor helped develop a technique to grow brain organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells.

A new tool helps stem cells integrate with host neural circuitry after implantation in mice.

After growing in culture for a few months, the mini-brains produced rhythmic neural activity that strengthened over time.

Two coauthors of a new study discuss their findings about nearly 170 facilities in the southwestern US selling unproven therapies—and what should be done about them.

Insulin-producing cells grown in the lab could offer a functional cure for the disease.
