The Latest Breaking News from Stem Cells

The American study suggests stem cells may get "stuck" as hair grows older and therefore lose their ability to mature and maintain hair colour, turning your barnet grey over time

A team of researchers from NYU spent two years plucking away mice hair to watch what happened when it grew back. They noticed a stem cell malfunction that may explain your silver strands.

Grey hair could be a thing of the past thanks to this study

Researchers in the US have found that certain stem cells have the unique ability to move between growth compartments in hair follicles

Results of stem cell research could lead to treatment that halts or reverses the process

The tell-tale sign of ageing is something that many have tried to hide for generations

Scientists said the research in mice could lead to ways of preventing or reversing the greying of human hair.

'It presents a potential pathway for reversing or preventing the greying of human hair'

For the first time in history, scientists have created mice with two dads, foretelling a day when same-sex couples may be able to have biological children of their own.

In January 2017, I met Jiankui He, the now-infamous Chinese scientist who would go on to create the world’s first genome-edited babies. This was at a meeting in Berkeley, Calif., hosted by Jennifer Doudna who, along with Emmanuelle Charpentier, was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work…

Chinese researchers developed embryo-like structures from monkey embryonic stem cells, a first that may herald deeper insight into embryonic development.
