A new stem cell transplant technique that does not require the use of high-dose chemotherapy and radiation successfully cured an adult patient with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, marking the ...

Patients suffering from Parkinson's disease may soon benefit from a powerful treatment option: stem-cell transplants. In a pair of small studies designed primarily to test safety, two teams of ...

Stem cells can fight disease from the inside out. But not all treatments are created equal. By Mohana Ravindranath The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells ...

Scientists who study the brain have long tried to unlock the neural mysteries of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat. The scientists began ...

Stem cells in the brain, called neural stem cells (NSCs), have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and undergo a process of cell death. Most of the NSCs in our brains exist in a dormant state, ...
