Stem cells (SCs) are like superheroes in our bodies. They can turn into many different types of cells. They are also the key to understanding aging. As we grow older, these SCs lose their superpowers. They can't renew as easily and can't change into as many types of cells. This is where exercise com
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a tough nut to crack. Even with intense chemotherapy, many patients face a high risk of relapse. Things get even worse for those whose leukemia returns or doesn't respond to treatment. But there's a glimmer of hope with a new combo treatment. Researchers look
Blood stem cells, also known as hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), are like superheroes in our body. They can transform into different types of blood cells, which is crucial for our immune system and overall health. These cells have two main states: active and resting. The switch betwe
The world of regenerative medicine is buzzing with excitement over a new player in the game. This player is the Aceman System, a cutting-edge solution that's shaking up the way we produce mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs are like the superheroes of regenerative medicine, but making them in large
First, let's talk about the CNPY3 gene. This gene is like a helper for a group of proteins known as toll-like receptors (TLRs). It helps these proteins fold correctly and get to where they need to go. Now, imagine you have a special kind of stem cell, called human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). These
Sunlight isn't always our friend. UVB rays can speed up skin aging and even kill skin cells. Scientists are exploring ways to combat this damage. One promising area of research involves something called CM-hUCB-MSC. This is a mouthful, but it's basically stuff from human umbilical cord blood mesench
Imagine a world where scientists can study a complex disease like schizophrenia in a dish. That's exactly what happened when researchers created a special type of stem cell from a 41-year-old man with schizophrenia. These aren't your average stem cells, though. They're called induced pluripotent ste
Scientists are working hard to help young cancer patients have kids in the future. One big challenge is making sperm from saved testicular tissue in a lab. This is tricky because there aren't many samples to study. So, researchers turned to a clever solution: using special stem cells to create tiny,
Imagine tiny molecules that can speed up healing and prevent scars. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, it's not. Scientists have been exploring the potential of these tiny molecules, called microRNAs. One of them, miR-141-3p, has shown promise in helping wounds heal faster and reducing scarri
CTNNB1 disorder is a neurological condition that affects many people. It is caused by a problem with a gene called CTNNB1. This gene is important for brain development. When it doesn't work right, it can lead to a range of neurological issues. Scientists have created special stem cells from two peop
