The complex stomach is just one organ scientists at Children's are developing. They have already made progress on tiny livers, kidneys and brains called organoids.

Sketchy clinics selling untested and often illegal stem cell treatments in the U.S. are proliferating, new research out Thursday has found. It

The FDA gave stem cell clinics three years to comply with its rules. The number of illegal clinics exploded.

A new analysis found that there are nearly four times as many businesses offering stem cell therapies now than in 2016, despite perceptions of more FDA oversight of the unproven and dangerous treatments.

Although much of our DNA has no obvious function, scientists are discovering that some of these "junk" segments may be key to our humanity.

Human DNA is remarkably similar to that of the chimpanzee, our closest living relative in evolutionary terms. However, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have discovered a previously unknown portion of human DNA, known as non-coded DNA, that appears to contribute to a distinction that, despite our similarities.

Stem cell researchers at the Lund University, Germany, identify ZNF558, a transcription factor expressed in human but not chimpanzee forebrain progenitors cells, that regulates mitochondrial function and determines the timing of early human brain development. The authors show this transcription factor regulates a gene called SPATA18 that regulates the selective degradation of mitochondria. The expression of ZNF558 is controlled by the size of a structural repeat in noncoding DNA that is longer i...
