Planarian stem cells defy niche signals, unlocking the secrets of regeneration
Planarian stem cells reveal a new horizon in tissue regeneration Planarian flatworms have long fascinated scientists with their extraordinary regenerative powers. A new study from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, published in Cell Reports, shows that planarian stem cells may not rely on a local niche in the way many other organisms do. Instead,…

Lab-grown embryo models mimic natural formation of blood and heart cells
Overview: A window into early human development Scientists at the University of Cambridge have engineered three‑dimensional, embryo‑like structures from human stem cells that replicate key features of very early human development. These structures, named hematoids, self‑organize to form tissues and, notably, produce blood stem cells, offering a promising platform to study how the human body…

Lab-grown Embryo Model Produces Blood Cells for Therapy
Breakthrough: Lab-grown embryo-like structures form blood progenitors Researchers have created embryo-like structures from human stem cells in the laboratory that spontaneously generate blood cells. This milestone could one day enable bone marrow–related therapies using a patient’s own cells, reducing the risk of immune rejection and expanding treatment options for blood disorders. How the model works…
