Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Over the last 15 years, I have witnessed how cell and gene therapy (CGT) has evolved in many ways, spanning from research and development to manufacturing. Breakthroughs such as CAR-T and gene therapy ...

ALS is a heterogeneous disease. While 10-15% of cases are linked to inherited mutations, nearly 85% are sporadic.

iXCells’ mission is to empower life science researchers and patient foundations to advance personalized therapies and accelerate discovery of better medicines for a healthier future. iXCells’ cell ...

A new global initiative launched today aims to close a critical gap in ALS/MND drug discovery - current cell models used for ...

Stem cells are the body's ultimate shape-shifters, sustaining tissues by balancing two competing demands: maintaining their ...

In science, ethical guidelines ensure that research takes place in a way that respects public trust and is conducted responsibly. Traditional ethics approval procedures work well for projects ...

A physics-based model that accounts for membrane surface folds predicts cell adhesion on nanopillar arrays with 97% accuracy, ...

In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers have now developed a method to predict the cell activity in tissues over time. The new software combines ...

Every year, more than 100 million animals are used globally in biomedical research, yet over 90% of drugs that appear effective in animal trials fail during human clinical testing. 1 This staggering ...
