New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

In a new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have successfully created stem cells that are better at developing into other cell types ... and they can't hear for two reasons ...

As a general rule, cell biologists don’t enter ... muscle memory, on the other hand, works a little differently than epigenetic muscle memory. Exercise stimulates muscle stem cells to contribute ...

A cell culture plate with pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into ... while the other tested seven—so researchers can’t yet conclude the effectiveness of stem cell treatments ...

The studies, published April 16 in Nature, represent early steps for stem cell therapies that aim ... that use a patient’s own cells. The studies weren’t designed to test whether added ...

Orca-T is an investigational allogeneic T-cell immunotherapy comprised of highly purified regulatory T-cells, CD34-positive stem cells, and conventional T-cells. 3 The cells are derived from the ...

These cells, theoretically able to morph into any tissue in the human body, promised a medical revolution. Think: replacement parts for whatever ails you. But stem-cell science didn’t go smoothly.

"Unlike most drugs, CAR-T cell ... cells specifically could be boosted by targeting genes like RUNX2. The cells also lived longer and reproduced more quickly than memory cells. "These epigenetic ...

But if oncogenic action alone is insufficient and requires other mutational or epigenetic ... T cells in the same person. These mutations were used to identify patient-specific somatic leukemia ...

mimics the normal reprogramming process in early embryonic development to essentially wipe a cell’s memory, making these cells more similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells both molecularly and ...

He is also a co-inventor on a pending patent (PCT/AU2019/051296) related to correcting epigenetic memory in iPS cells. Stem ... cell, we want to erase all its “bookmarks”. However, this doesn ...

This showed the trajectory of epigenetic changes, which don’t actually ... somatic cells as they transform by adding a step that resets the genome to that of an embryonic stem cell.
