Multi Institutional team led by IIT Guwahati produces Pluripotent Stem Cel
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Stem Cells have to be extracted from embryos or parts of the adult human body like the brain or bone marrow, which is challenging from both ethical and practical aspects. Thus, scientists are exploring techniques to convert ordinary cells, like skin or blood cells, into pluripotent stem cell

Researchers find two paths to autism in developing brain
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
According to a new Yale-led study where researchers created brain organoids from the stem cells of boys with the disorder, two distinct neurodevelopmental abnormalities that manifest just weeks after the beginning of brain development have been linked with the emergence of autism spectrum di

Study suggests how neonatal stem cells from heart help in Crohn’s disease
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Crohn's disease-like ileitis, a condition marked by chronic intestinal inflammation and progressive tissue damage, researchers from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago discovered that direct injection of neonatal mesenchymal stem cells, derived from heart tissue removed

Researchers create human embryo-like entities with extraembryonic tissue
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Gastrulation is a "black box" of human development in which an embryo reorganises itself from a hollow spherical to a multilayered structure. Because of bioethical considerations, human embryos are normally not cultured for more than 14 days, and gastrulation occurs between 17 and 21 days po

Stem cells role in protecting gastric mucosa, finds study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
The parietal, chief, pit, and neck cells make up the gastric corpus, which is a major component of the glandular stomach. Each of these specialised epithelial cells plays a crucial part in digestion, and they are constantly replenished by new ones created by stem cell differentiation. Gastri

Drug delivery method reverse senescence of stem cells: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Researchers discovered methods for removing older cells from cultures when the capture rate is low. Rather than removing old cells, it is preferable to prevent them from entering senescence in the first place.
