New nanotech method loads stem cells with extra mitochondria to recharge dying cells
by Aamir Khollam - Interesting Engineering - Texas A&M scientists used nanoflower-boosted stem cells to deliver extra mitochondria to weakened cells, restoring lost energy and improving survival under stress. Scientists at Texas A&M University say they may have found...
The resurgence of mesenchymal stem cell therapies
By Miranda McLaren - Clinical Trials Alerts - Mesenchymal stem cells have been explored across a wide range of diseases due to their potential to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair and regeneration. BBG Advanced Therapies’ Rogelio Zamilpa, PhD takes us...
Artificial intelligence and systems biology analysis in stem cell research and therapeutics development
By Stem Cells Translational Medicine - Background: Stem cell research has rapidly advanced during the past decades, but the translation into approved clinical products is still lagging behind. Multiple barriers to effective clinical translation exist. We hypothesize...
Inflammation turns bone marrow into a breeding ground for disease
By Science Daily - Inflammation covertly rewires the bone marrow, enabling mutated stem cells to rise and setting the stage for future blood disease. Researchers discovered that chronic inflammation fundamentally remodels the bone marrow, allowing mutated stem cell...
Bone Marrow Model Created Entirely from Human Cells
By Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News - Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and University Hospital...
Scientists see foam as starting point of a path to bedside gene therapy
By Sabrina Richards - Fred Hutch Cancer Center - Bioengineer Dr. Matthias Stephan developed a quick-foaming solution that he hopes could one day turn gene therapy into an outpatient procedure The special properties of methylcellulose foam could make it a vehicle for...
Japanese Researchers Develop Method to Repair Spinal Fractures Using Fat-Derived Stem Cells
by GOAI -Gene Online - Japanese researchers are exploring a novel, minimally invasive method to repair spinal fractures using body fat-derived cells. The experimental approach involves converting fat cells into bone tissue, offering a potential alternative to...
Technical University of Munich transforms stem cells into bone cells
By Optics.org - A project at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has successfully stimulated stem cells in a manner that reliably induced them to develop into bone cells. The technology could ultimately lead to ways to generate specific cells for biomedical...

What will be born of the marriage of de-extinction firm Colossal and animal cloning biotech Viagen?
By Paul Knoepfler - STAT - The company that claimed to revive the dire wolf continues to raise ethical questions De-extinction firm Colossal Biosciences announced Tuesday that it was acquiring animal cloning firm Viagen. The same day, retired NFL all-star Tom Brady...
Behind the FDA’s Elimination of REMS Program for CAR T-Cell Therapies
By Jonah Feldman, Frederick Locke, MD - Targeted Oncology - On June 26, 2025, the FDA announced the elimination of the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program that applied to 6 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies approved to treat patients...
Scientists discover how hair cells can help heal skin faster
By Rockefeller University - ScienceDaily Scientists found that low serine levels spark a shift in hair stem cells, transforming them into wound-healing experts — with diet playing a possible role. Rockefeller scientists uncovered how hair follicle stem cells can...
