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

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have uncovered a type of immortal cell in laboratory settings, offering unprecedented potential for medical research and treatment. These cells, with their ...

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 - ...
