In 2001, it was discovered that adipose tissue not only contains fat cells but also mesenchymal stem cells—supporting cells that function as stem cells in cases of tissue damage.

New research explores the potential of adipose-derived stem cells to reduce fibrosis and modulate the immune system in ...

In an advance for treating male infertility, researchers transplanted a patient with his own sperm-forming stem cells that ...

Stem cell research is still a new field within biology. Many big advances, like the discovery of human embryonic and tissue stem cells, have been made only during the past 25 years. Thanks to stem ...

Adult tissue-resident stem cells fuel renewal, repair, and remodeling of tissues to maintain their structure and function. Research in the Wickström lab aims to uncover how single stem cell behaviors ...

The pluripotent and multipotent stem cells are found in the bone marrow, which can differentiate into any tissue in the body.

"Traditionally, stem cells were primarily harvested from bone marrow or umbilical cord blood, both relatively difficult-to-access sources. In 2001, it was discovered that adipose tissue not only ...
