A 24-hour fast followed by feeding rejuvenates the blood-forming stem cells in old mice, a finding that may lead to new ways to help people live healthier lives as they age.
A new study reveals how bone marrow stem cell niche generation is regulated, which could lead to improvements in stem cell transplantation for the treatment of blood diseases.
BeatProfiler, a new research tool invented by Columbia bioengineers with the help of AI, speeds and simplifies the analysis of engineered heart tissue in the laboratory.
Cells used to study the human blood-brain barrier in the lab aren’t what they seem, a new study has found, throwing nearly a decade’s worth of research into question.
Hematopoietic stem cells can survive extraordinary stress. Columbia scientists have learned how they escape death, which could lead to new treatments for blood cancers and diseases related to aging.
Columbia scientists are using CRISPR to create stem cells that could ultimately alleviate diabetes in rare neonatal cases and may lead to a cell therapy for more common forms of the disease.
A new Science study from Columbia stem cell researchers has found that the liver is the surprising source of a growth factor that keeps bone marrow stem cells healthy.
3-D organoids created from the bladder cancers of patients mimic the characteristics of each patient’s tumor and may be used in the future to identify the best treatment for each patient.
Scientists at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons present the most definitive evidence to date that the human brain makes new neurons throughout life.
VP&S researchers will investigate macular degeneration, motor neuron differentiation, loss of tactile acuity, and other topics with funds from the New York State Stem Cell Science program.
