In healthy rodent brains, newborn neurons are constantly generated in the stem cell niche, known as the subventricular zone (SVZ). These cells might help to repair a brain that has been damaged by ...

The Drosophila germline stem cell (GSC) niche represents a finely balanced microenvironment where complex intercellular signals converge to regulate stem cell maintenance, differentiation and tissue ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have identified a key molecule for establishing blood stem cells in their niche within the bone marrow. The findings, reported in the January ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...

A type of flatworms, called planarians, can regenerate whole organisms from pieces as small as one-279th of their body. 1 Depending on how these goofy-looking worms were cut, they could even come back ...

Dr Jitesh Neupane discusses his hematoids model and opportunities to study childhood blood disorders and future stem cell therapies.

Researchers studied what happens immediately after a stroke in the stem cell niche known as the subventricular zone, using a mouse model. This revealed a mechanism that results in fewer newborn ...
