These meristems contain stem cells that divide as needed and form new cells that develop into specialized tissue. Using the example of plant roots, the researchers have now been able to decipher ...

By this definition, stem cells are particularly important for plant growth, because virtually all tissues of the plant descend from small groups of stem cells located in their growing apices ...

7 Plant stem cells are predominantly found in the meristem, which provides the foundation for the formation of plant organs, ensuring plant growth and development. 7 The regenerative capacities of ...

Lab mice with glioblastoma lived longer with a new combination treatment than with radiation alone—and some even achieved long-term tumor control.

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in ... How Healthy Stem Cells Turn Into Or ...

Scientists at UCLA have discovered a potential new way to treat glioblastoma, the most aggressive type of brain cancer. Their ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They retain their self-renewing ability almost throughout an organism’s ...

And they argue that scientists can achieve the same results using adult stem cells— immature cells found in bone marrow and other organs in adult human beings, as well as in umbilical cords ...

A single molecular switch is essential for blood stem cells to enter an activated, regenerative state in which they produce ...
