The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells from the human body and deliver them to repair injuries and fight disease from the inside out. But not all stem ...

June 6, 2025 Knoepfler is professor of cell biology and human anatomy at UC Davis School of Medicine. Welcome to Lab Dish, a First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler.

"While most organs are thought to be shaped by static, brick-like cells, our study highlights the powerful role of dynamic, migrating cells—and how they work together to sculpt living tissue ...

Leaders from the world of cell and gene therapy, including molecular geneticists, immunotherapists, physicians, nonprofit directors, and patient advocates, shared their personal stories and policy ...

The U.S. health secretary said people should have access to experimental therapies including unregulated uses of stem cells. But some methods have resulted in blindness, tumors and other injuries.

Heart muscle cells do something similar, issuing electrical “heave-ho” signals that make the organ beat. Skin and other epithelial cells, however, were thought to be silent; they form barrier ...

In prostate and breast cancer cells, removing CD36 blocked the cancer-fighting power of these drugs. This wasn’t just true for PROTACs but for other large drugs too, like doxorubicin and navitoclax.

Researchers present a new method to safely and preferentially generate CAR T cells directly inside the body using targeted lipid nanoparticles that deliver mRNA directly to T cells. The approach ...

A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — might explain why the human brain has such a huge storage capacity, researchers reported in the journal PNAS in May. The ...
