For the first time, researchers have discovered and isolated adult stem cells from a non-human primate. This finding could transform the foundation for how we develop stem cell treatments.

Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by dividing and can differentiate into multiple tissues including bone, cartilage, muscle and fat cells, and connective tissue.

What if we could reprogramme the TME itself? Cutting-edge research suggests that engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could disrupt this shield – targeting tumours in a way that finally ...

Cancer stem cells articles from across Nature Portfolio Cancer stem cells are rare immortal cells within a tumour that can both self-renew by dividing and give rise to many cell types that ...
