Regenerative medicines are headed for people with Parkinson’s disease or severe heart failure — but researchers are concerned about minimal clinical-trial data.

A pioneering clinical trial is exploring whether lab-engineered stem cells can restore dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease.

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, ...

Aside from reprogramming and transdifferentiation, the longer-existing approach to generating neurons and NSCs has been differentiating them from pluripotent cells, initially from embryonic stem cells ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it’s possible to reprogram a patient’s blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

BLOOM (TAMPA) – Health and lifestyle expert Dr. Fabrizio “Dr. Fab” Mancini—known for more than 30 years of experience as a holistic health provider—joined Gayle Guyardo on the globally syndicated ...

Life begins with a tiny orchestra of stem cells, setting the stage for the body’s grand symphony of development. As the performance unfolds, a dynamic interplay of factors takes center stage, ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...
