Under certain conditions, skin organoids including hair follicles can be generated from mouse pluripotent stem cells, researchers report.

The scientist was a member of a stem cell research team led by Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka. 

Lab-grown muscle stem cells from mice mimic the formation of muscle fibers in vivo. 

Scientists identify the cells that give rise to the soft tissue cancer rhabdomyosarcoma. 

Michael Christman oversaw the organization’s well-known biobank and pioneered a personalized medicine initiative.

A byproduct of alcohol consumption causes mutations in the DNA of mouse blood stem cells, and some of the breaks are not repaired.

After an initial wounding, genes needed for repair remain ready for action.

Small trials using younger donors and elderly recipients hint that mesenchymal stem cell transfers might reduce frailty. 

Researchers examine the effects on the fruit fly intestine of the protein responsible for Fragile X syndrome in humans. 

Combining gene editing and stem-cell induction improves efficiency of functional genetic analyses.
