Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

MSK physician-scientists Dr. Viviane Tabar and Dr. Lorenz Studer have developed a treatment for Parkinson’s disease that involves creating nerve cells from embryonic stem cells and transplanting them ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

Between 1998 and 2009, research being conducted using human embryonic stem (hES) cells expanded primarily using private funds because of restrictions on the use of federal funds for such research.

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...
