Approximately 15 percent of all lung cancers are small cell lung cancers (SCLC), which grow rapidly and often develop resistance to chemotherapy.

Cell reprogramming converts specialised cells such as nerve cells or skin cells towards an embryonic stem cell state.

A single type of cell in the lining of the bladder is responsible for most cases of invasive bladder cancer, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Stem cells - the body's master cells - demonstrate a bizarre property never before seen at a cellular level, according to a study published from scientists at the University of Cambridge.

Most drugs used to treat lung, breast and pancreatic cancers also promote drug-resistance and ultimately spur tumor growth.

The development of stem cell therapies to cure a variety of diseases depends on the ability to characterize stem cell populations based on cell surface markers.

Researchers have found that stem cell nuclei demonstrate an unusual, counterintuitive property never seen before in cells - auxeticity - where stretching causes them to expand.

An international team led by researchers at UC Davis has shown that the cyclin B1/Cdk1 protein complex, which plays a key role in cell division, also boosts the mitochondrial activity to power that...

Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered an unexpected phenomenon in the organs that produce sperm in fruit flies: When a certain kind of stem cell is killed off experimentally, another group of...

Consider the marvel of the embryo. It begins as a glob of identical cells that change shape and function as they multiply to become the cells of our lungs, muscles, nerves and all the other...

Tissue engineering has been used to construct natural oesophagi, which in combination with bone marrow stem cells have been safely and effectively transplanted in rats.

As multicellular creatures go, planaria worms are hardly glamorous. To say they appear rudimentary is more like it.

Researchers from the University of Michigan found that a compound in Silly Putty - a children's moulding toy - helped turn stem cells into working motor neurons more efficiently.

In early fetal development, skin wounds undergo regeneration and healing without scar formation.

UT Arlington and Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital are investigating whether bone grown from the body's own stem cells can replace traditional types of bone grafting.

The activity of four transcription factors - proteins that regulate the expression of other genes - appears to distinguish the small proportion of glioblastoma cells responsible for the...

A series of previous studies suggested that the neuronal differentiation rate of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells during the in vitro culture reached 78-92%, but their in vivo transplantation...

A new way to artificially control muscles using light, with the potential to restore function to muscles paralysed by conditions such as motor neuron disease and spinal cord injury, has been...

Rare, very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) isolated from human adult tissues could provide a new source for developing regenerative therapies to repair complex tissues damaged by disease or...

Researchers report they can generate human motor neurons from stem cells much more quickly and efficiently than previous methods allowed.
