Scientists at the University of California, Riverside, have discovered how adult stem cells retain their regenerative power.

A team of Brown University researchers has identified a promising new approach that may one day help to restore vision in people affected by macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a novel strategy for treating acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), an aggressive blood cancer for which the median survival time following diagnosis remains just 8.5 months.

Scientists at The Jackson Laboratory have discovered how aging blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth edge, creating fertile ground for the development of clonol hematopoiesis, a condition that dramatically increases the risk of heart disease, blood cancers, and other illnesses. Importantly, they’ve also identified a method to halt this abnormal growth. This breakthrough provides crucial insight into age-related blood disorders and opens the door to new therapeutic strategies targeting the root cause of these conditions.
