Researchers from UC San Francisco have discovered blood stem cells in the lungs, disrupting a decades-old belief that new blood cells were only made in the bone marrow. Conventionally it was thought ...

A newly identified lung cell “switch” could help doctors unlock the lungs’ natural ability to heal themselves.

Nearly 1,650 people in the U.S. are awaiting lung transplants. Unfortunately, both domestically and abroad, the demand for donor lungs far outpaces the supply. The limited availability of donor lungs ...

A team of scientists at the Institute for Cell Biology (Cancer Research), University of Duisburg-Essen, has developed a simple method for the automated manufacture of induced pluripotent stem cell ...

UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

Human lungs, like all organs, begin their existence as clumps of undifferentiated stem cells. But in a matter of months, the cells get organized. They gather together, branch and bud, some forming ...

UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene into human airway cells, restoring key biological function in a laboratory ...

Imagine a future where treating cystic fibrosis is as simple as taking a deep breath. That’s exactly what a team of pediatric physician-scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative ...
