When astronaut Scott Kelly returned from a year-long trip aboard the International Space Station (ISS), lab tests revealed telomeric and pre-leukemic changes in his blood cells. These sorts of ...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), ...

What happens when you catapult cancer into space? Or shoot stem cells toward the stars? Catriona Jamieson, a hematologist and director of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute at the University of ...

As the second leading cause of death worldwide, cancer has touched the lives of most Americans. In an effort to improve treatments for patients on Earth by better understanding how cancer spreads, a ...

Scientists uncover a new “recipe” that shows how exhausted T cells can be reprogrammed to regain their ability to attack tumors.

In this MedPage Today interview, Leigh Turner, PhD, a professor of health policy and bioethics at the University of California Irvine, unpacks the growing influence of stem cell clinics and the ...

This graphical abstract illustrates the study design. Notable innovations include the use of a “floating cannula” to deliver stem cells without suspension of respiration, utilizing diffuse tensor ...

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

"We showed that stem cell activity is not autonomous but also is not fully determined by endothelial cell vascular niche signals -- it depends instead on signaling and adaptability between the two," ...
