For the first time, researchers transferred them to the wombs of female monkeys, where the embryo-like structures produced a response similar to pregnancy.

The lab of Juan Song, PhD, and colleagues at the UNC School of Medicine, demonstrated the therapeutic potential of new neurons generated in adulthood for modulating the pathology and functional deficits associated with Alzheimer’s disease using rodent models.

Scientists have created an embryo-like structure using monkey embryonic stem cells for the first time, part of an effort to better understand early human development and organ formation.

In humanity's ongoing quest for the elixir of life, the science keeps pointing to stem cells. Research increasingly shows that maintaining stem cell fitness promotes a long healthspan, and new findings show keeping stem cells clean and tidy is an integral step.

A recent study reveals that improving stem cells' "garbage disposal" system may help guard against age-related disorders. The ability of stem cells to dispose of misfolded proteins declines with age, which can lead to problems with the blood and immune systems. Read more.
