Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

Partillion Bioscience provides Nanovials, engineered microparticles that serve as suspendable reaction compartments for individual cells. Nanovials come in 35 µm or 50 µm diameters, and different ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

For the first time, human patients have received transfusions of blood cells that were grown from stem cells in a lab. A clinical trial investigating the safety of the procedure is currently underway, ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

Two people in the U.K. are the first ever to receive transfusions of lab-grown red blood cells. The pair are healthy volunteers in the "Recovery and survival of stem cell originated red cells" ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

The endoderm, one of the first tissues to form in the mammalian embryo, gives rise to the entire pulmonary system and digestive tract. Despite its importance, it has not been well characterized. In ...
