The production of cultured meat depends on the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of animal stem cells into edible tissues. Muscle stem cells, or satellite cells, are central to this process ...

Stem cells that live in the muscle impart its ability to regenerate. After an injury, muscle stem cells activate and must expand in number to repair and make new muscle (marked by dystrophin in white) ...

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for treating intractable intestinal diseases due to their low risk of rejection ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky. Low muscle mass in the ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

With a Kobe University-developed procedure, induced pluripotent stem cells can now be frozen directly in their dishes without ...

Explore how researchers developed a new method for freezing iPS cells without losing their undifferentiated state.

Pluripotent stem cells have the potential to differentiate into any of the three primary tissue types — endoderm (such as the intestines, stomach, and lungs), mesoderm (such as muscle, bones, and ...

Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling mechanism—chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)—is essential for muscle health. The research, ...

Stem cells can fight disease from the inside out. But not all treatments are created equal. By Mohana Ravindranath The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells ...
