New York City is becoming a hotspot for scientific research, especially in the field of stem cells. The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) started with two moms who wanted to help their kids with Type-1 diabetes. They had a simple idea: use stem cells to find cures for tough diseases like Alzheim
The quest to mend damaged cartilage has led scientists to explore the power of 3D printing and stem cells. This isn't just about printing ink on paper. It's about using a special kind of ink made from natural materials and living cells. The goal is to repair cartilage, the smooth, white tissue that
Sunlight isn't always our friend. UVB rays can speed up skin aging and even kill skin cells. Scientists are exploring ways to combat this damage. One promising area of research involves something called CM-hUCB-MSC. This is a mouthful, but it's basically stuff from human umbilical cord blood mesench
Imagine a world where scientists can study a complex disease like schizophrenia in a dish. That's exactly what happened when researchers created a special type of stem cell from a 41-year-old man with schizophrenia. These aren't your average stem cells, though. They're called induced pluripotent ste
CTNNB1 disorder is a neurological condition that affects many people. It is caused by a problem with a gene called CTNNB1. This gene is important for brain development. When it doesn't work right, it can lead to a range of neurological issues. Scientists have created special stem cells from two peop
Dr. Smith knows that growing new heart tissue in the lab is tricky. One challenge is making sure the tiny scaffolds that support the cells have the right shape. They should mimic the native heart's structure, like the way muscle fibers line up. Recently, Dr. Smith and their team tried something new
