Hank gives you the facts on stem cells - what they are, what they're good for, where they come from, and how they're used in medicine.

When it comes to our blood-producing stem cells, biologists have learned that bigger is not better. And a study has taken a look at the accomplishments and obstacles of an in-progress attempt to restore a large belt of degraded land...

From synthetic embryos to lab-grown skin, we live in a brave new world of stem cell advances. So why can it still take years to recover from injury? Orthopedic surgeon Kevin Stone is working to accelerate the body's healing response so...

Calling them "our bodies' own repair kits," Susan Solomon advocates research using lab-grown stem cells. By growing individual pluripotent stem cell lines, her team creates testbeds that could accelerate research into curing diseases --...

The heart is one of the least regenerative organs in the human body -- a big factor in making heart failure the number one killer worldwide. What if we could help heart muscle regenerate after injury? Physician and scientist Chuck Murry...

What if diseases could be treated with a patient's own cells, precisely and on demand? Biotech entrepreneur Nabiha Saklayen explains how we could harness advances in biology, machine learning and lasers to create personalized stem cell...

Revealing the amazing and unique properties of stem cells, and how they can be used to regenerate tissues. Biology - Cells And DNA - Learning Points. There are three different types of stem cell: embryonic, foetal and adult. Stem cells...

Researchers from the University of Miami have made a breakthrough in using stem cells to repair hearts damaged from heart attack. The study found that stem cells donated by strangers were just as safe and effective as patients' own cells...

Earlier this week, researchers published in the journal Cell that they had created embryonic stem cells by cloning human skin cells. An embryo is usually created when sperm enters the egg cell, which then starts to divide. Instead of...

This video discusses the promising potential of stem cell medicine in treating various diseases but highlights a key challenge faced by scientists in creating extensive blood supply systems for engineered tissues.

How do cells in your body differentiate into other types of cells? Explore cell specialization featuring stem cells and their role in cell differentiation.

Stem cells are widely believed to hold great promise in medical research because of their ability to transform into all sorts of other cell types, and scientists can grow it in living mice.

Stem Cell Research - The Issues: Professor Ian Wilmut examines the concept of stem cell research, the science behind it and his opinion for the technology, while others present issues for concern. This programme examines the issues...

This video explains the different stages of the cell cycle and how stem cells differentiate to form various cell types. It starts by discussing the structure of chromosomes and then moves onto describing the three stages of the cell...

This video provides an overview of stem cells, including what they are, different types of stem cells (embryonic, adult, and plant meristem), and their potential uses in medicine and plant cloning. The video explains how stem cells can...

This video provides an introduction to stem cells, exploring what they are, the different types that exist, and their potential uses in both plants and humans. The video describes the unique abilities of embryonic and adult stem cells,...

Stem cells have the ability to develop into various types of cells in the body. They hold great potential in regenerating damaged organs and tissues, offering hope for medical therapies. While adult stem cells from sources like umbilical...

In this video, we explore... [1] a brief history of Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) [2] basics of how Induced Pleuripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) were made [3] basic applications of IPSCs

Scientists want to know why cancer cells sometimes return after chemotherapy has eradicated the tumor. One debated theory is that cancer has its own "stem cells". Three studies published in Nature and Science are in support of this...

Is personalized medicine for individual bodies in our future? Possibly -- with the use of stem cells, undifferentiated cells with the power to become any tissue in our bodies. Craig A. Kohn describes the role of these incredible,...

Our bodies are the ultimate factory. Every cell has its specific job to do, and is shaped to do that job perfectly. The fate of each cell is determined during the embryo stage, and then cannot be changed. However, cutting-edge research...
