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.

Researchers at Stanford Medicine explore a potentially causative connection between a blood disorder called CHP and Alzheimer's disease..

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

For decades, researchers have been trying to expand human blood stem cells in culture. Researchers at the institute have recently accomplished this, opening the way to explore many new medical therapies and avenues of basic research.

Stem Cell MD/PhD Student Omair Khan became one of 23 graduate students nationally to be awarded a 2023 Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans.

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.

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.

Researchers found that when they turned cancer cells into immune cells, they were able to teach other immune cells how to attack cancer.

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.
