Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs. Stem cells (like the ones above, growing in petri dishes) are able to ...

All cell types found in the body are derived from stem cells. However, genetic mutations can impact the ability of stem cells to develop into fully functional cells. Also, as the body ages, the number ...
