Looking at stem cells through physicists’ eyes is challenging some of our basic assumptions about the body’s master cells.

Like conducting an errant orchestra to play together, researchers are guiding processes that go awry in multiple sclerosis to repair themselves.

Neural stem cells – master cells that can develop into any type of nerve cell – are able to generate mini “first aid kits” and transfer them to...

Scientists have successfully ‘reset’ human pluripotent stem cells to the earliest developmental state – equivalent to cells found in an embryo before...

Stem cells – the body’s master cells – demonstrate a bizarre property never before seen at a cellular level, according to a study published today...
