From totipotent stem cells at conception, to pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent, and unipotent stem cells by adulthood – every disease essentially boils down to a dysfunction in the cells and ...

Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. Starting from a single MLH1-knockout human colon cell ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They ...

A research team reported recently that heart muscle cells grown from induced pluripotent stem cells can integrate into the hearts of monkeys with a state of pressure overload.
