Why does CHIP lead to cardiovascular disease? The answers are becoming clearer
Stem cell mutations that lead to dominant clones raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms of this increased risk may like in the promotion of inflammatory activities among the offspring of mutant stem cells.

Growing new blood vessels when arteries are blocked
Institute researchers have discovered that certain purified stem cell components of normal fat, when combined in the right proportions and transplanted into the body, will grow into new blood vessels. The researchers showed that when the technique was used in mice it restored blood flow to areas where areas where arteries were blocked

Researchers invent way to purify developing human brain cells
Researchers created a method of isolating and studying different human neural stem and progenitor cells. Transplanting these pure cells back into mice allows them to study the whole tree of all developing human brain cells.

Limiting clonal expansion
Researchers at the Stanford School of Medicine have discovered a key change that drives the expansion of mutant blood stem cell clones, a discovery that opens a potential pathway for treating blood cancers and other disorders.
Stanford Medicine scientists transform cancer cells into weapons against cancer
Researchers found that when they turned cancer cells into immune cells, they were able to teach other immune cells how to attack cancer.
Intermittent fasting spurs proliferation of liver cells in lab mice, Stanford Medicine-led study finds
Cells in the adult liver were thought to divide rarely. But a study led by Stanford Medicine researchers found intermittent fasting causes rapid cell division.
