Hope is preparing for close-out meetings with the FDA. Chang said the team is “hopeful to advance to a phase 3 confirmatory trial” of the stem cell therapy candidate.

Scientists have identified key changes to both chromosome structure and gene expression that affect stem cell function during aging. Using fruit flies, they found that these changes led to stem cell ...

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), which can virtually form any cell type, have great potential in the field of regenerative medicine. However, the growth of tumors after PSC transplantation remains to be ...

Scientists are sending stem cells into orbit where the forces of gravity won't interfere with how they cells proliferate and assemble into small organ-like clusters. It's an exciting time for stem ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

However, much remains to be discovered. Yejing Ge, a cell biologist at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, discussed her research on skin-resident stem cells and the surprisingly similar process that ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections.
