In a recent study, Stevens researchers have shown how colorectal cancers can evolve from mature intestinal cells that revert ...

When stem cells cannot sense growth hormone, their ability to generate new cartilage cells is greatly reduced, which leads to impaired growth. And conversely, when growth hormone levels are too high, ...

Adding bile acids as farnesoid X receptor agonists to the culture medium supported the growth and development of unique stem cell-derived hepatic organoids, report researchers from Japan. These ...

Stem cell research done at the Mayo Clinic will be on board the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket set to launch early Sunday morning. Mayo Clinic wants to test the effect of zero gravity on stem cell growth, so ...

A newly developed synthetic cell matrix could provide a surface on which to culture and differentiate billions of delicate stem cells for medical uses. For decades, scientists have been exploring ...

Physical pressure can stop cancer cells from growing large enough to divide, revealing why squeezed tumors may stall.

In a new study published in Nature Communications, a research team at the University of Oslo have examined how cancer cells develop in the bone marrow and whether it might be possible to stop them.

Previous research has shown that growth hormone acts directly on the growth plate. However, it has been unclear which cells are targeted by growth hormone and how. A delicate balance between two roles ...
