Keep an eye on single cells with a new fluorescence imaging technique which gives a high resolution image of a surface using nanoislands.
When activated by mechanical stress, a piezoelectric material efficiently stimulates the differentiation of stem cells into new neurons.
Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Driven by a machine learning algorithm, the closed-loop biohybrid device maintained a set membrane voltage in human stem cells for 10 hours.
A protocol for generating retinal organoids from human pluripotent stem cells that contain all major retinal cell types.
Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to unlimitedly self‐renew and differentiate to any somatic cell lineage.
Neuronal stem cells used to smuggle therapeutics into the brain.
In their review published in BioEssays, Russell Fletcher, Diya Das and John Ngai discuss how the integration of lineage tracing with data obtained from single-cell RNA-sequencing can provide insights into how stem cells differentiate.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University researchers design a novel nerve guidance conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration. The performance of the polydopamine-coated, gold polycaprolactone nanoscaffold is enhanced when loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Schwann cells.
