by Aarhus University - MedicalXpress - For the first time, researchers have discovered and isolated adult stem cells from a non-human primate. This finding could transform the foundation for how we develop stem cell treatments. Stem cell therapy is a relatively new...

By Nicole Wagner - ISS National Laboratory = Research that leverages space to develop treatments for blindness, cancer, and Parkison’s disease is jeopardized by the $6.1 billion NASA budget cuts recently announced for 2026 by President Trump. The cuts to the...

by Arkadi Mazin - Lifespan Research Institute - This may have effects on a significant component of Alzheimer's. Scientists have shown that aberrant metabolism of glycogen in neurons is linked to the accumulation of harmful tau protein. Caloric restriction, genetic...

By Technology Networks Genomics Research - New stem cell platform models Alzheimer's risk using cells from people with high and low genetic predisposition. Researchers at the UK Dementia Research Institute at Cardiff University have developed a new stem cell resource...

By Technology Networks - Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy represents a breakthrough in cancer treatment. By harnessing the body’s immune system, CAR T therapy provides a powerful, personalized treatment option that can be particularly effective for...

By: Charlotte Schubert, Ph.D. - University of Miami Miller School of Medicine - Blood cancer patients who may have previously struggled to find a donor for transplantation now have more options. A new study shows that patients achieve good outcomes with an partial...

By Van Andel Institute - Grand Rapids, MI - Van Andel Institute scientists and collaborators have discovered a potential treatment target that may re-energize dysfunctional or “exhausted” immune cells in their fight against cancer. The target is an immune checkpoint...

By Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News - By flipping an evolutionarily disabled genetic switch involved in vitamin A metabolism, researchers headed by a team at the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing, have enabled ear tissue regeneration in...

by Molly Coddington - Technology Networks - CRISPR gene therapy is changing the future of rare genetic disorder treatments. In May, news broke that a 10-month-old baby, KJ Muldoon, was doing well after receiving 3 doses of the world’s first personalized CRISPR...

By Nick Paul Taylor - Fierce Biotech - The FDA has stopped new clinical trials that export American citizens’ living cells from the U.S. to “China and other hostile countries for genetic engineering and subsequent infusion” back into American patients. Officials said...

By Alex (Guangyao) Xu - The Japan Times - In a quiet operating room on Kyoto University’s medical campus, a team of researchers slipped a syringe of lab-grown neurons into the brain of a living person. Leading the trial was Jun Takahashi, a neurosurgeon with the kind...

By Christina Elston - Cedars Sinai - Cedars-Sinai’s Lifelike Laboratory Model Is a New Way for Investigators to Study Motor Neurons That Die in Patients With the Neurodegenerative Illness Using stem cells from patients with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis),...
