At this time, stem cells from cord blood are not used in the management of Type 1 diabetes. However, researchers do see this as a promising avenue of inquiry. The disease arises because immune ...

"The cells dedifferentiate back into a type of regenerative stem cell after injury, and those stem cells eventually recover the intestine and turn back to normal cells." Scientists have been ...

The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...

Furthermore, many peripheral neural stem cells that migrate out of the neural tube can differentiate into mature neurons and, to a limited extent, glial cells during embryonic and postnatal ...
