Calling them "our bodies' own repair kits," Susan Solomon advocates research using lab-grown stem cells. By growing individual pluripotent stem cell lines, her team creates testbeds that could accelerate research into curing diseases --...

The cells in your body are like computer software: they're "programmed" to carry out specific functions at specific times. If we can better understand this process, we could unlock the ability to reprogram cells ourselves, says...

What if diseases could be treated with a patient's own cells, precisely and on demand? Biotech entrepreneur Nabiha Saklayen explains how we could harness advances in biology, machine learning and lasers to create personalized stem cell...

How do cells in your body differentiate into other types of cells? Explore cell specialization featuring stem cells and their role in cell differentiation.

When it comes to our blood-producing stem cells, biologists have learned that bigger is not better. And a study has taken a look at the accomplishments and obstacles of an in-progress attempt to restore a large belt of degraded land...

The heart is one of the least regenerative organs in the human body -- a big factor in making heart failure the number one killer worldwide. What if we could help heart muscle regenerate after injury? Physician and scientist Chuck Murry...

You're familiar with the story: a sperm and an egg meet to create an embryo, which has the potential to give rise to new life. But what if you could create a sperm or egg from any cell, even a single skin cell? Biologist Katsuhiko...

From synthetic embryos to lab-grown skin, we live in a brave new world of stem cell advances. So why can it still take years to recover from injury? Orthopedic surgeon Kevin Stone is working to accelerate the body's healing response so...

For life to evolve on Earth, a bunch of complex organic molecules had to evolve a way to assemble into cells. So how did those proto-cells get cell membranes? Some researchers have a new hunch. Also, scientists are borrowing a trick from...

This video explains the different stages of the cell cycle and how stem cells differentiate to form various cell types. It starts by discussing the structure of chromosomes and then moves onto describing the three stages of the cell...

This video provides an overview of stem cells, including what they are, different types of stem cells (embryonic, adult, and plant meristem), and their potential uses in medicine and plant cloning. The video explains how stem cells can...

This video provides an introduction to stem cells, exploring what they are, the different types that exist, and their potential uses in both plants and humans. The video describes the unique abilities of embryonic and adult stem cells,...

Using incredible videography, photos, animation and graphics, this information-packed video introduces students to biological vectors. Viewers will...

Our bodies are the ultimate factory. Every cell has its specific job to do, and is shaped to do that job perfectly. The fate of each cell is determined during the embryo stage, and then cannot be changed. However, cutting-edge research...

Stem Cell Research - The Issues: Professor Ian Wilmut examines the concept of stem cell research, the science behind it and his opinion for the technology, while others present issues for concern. This programme examines the issues...

In this video, we cover:

Revealing the amazing and unique properties of stem cells, and how they can be used to regenerate tissues. Biology - Cells And DNA - Learning Points. There are three different types of stem cell: embryonic, foetal and adult. Stem cells...

Stem cell therapy is a radical new treatment with the potential to restore eyesight and heal injuries. However, many object to its moral implications. Biology - Cells And DNA - Learning Points. Stem cells can repair or rebuild damaged...

Every single cell in your body contains the same DNA. However, not all of your cells are the same - you have nerve cells, blood cells, skin cells, bone cells and many more different types, that all have a slightly different structure so...

The pointy pencils of “The Fast Draw” provide a primer on the awesome science and engineering behind one of the most game-changing advances in the last decade. Made possible by advances in engineering, materials science and...

This video covers:<br/>
- What we mean by special<br/>ised cells
- How a sperm cell is ad<br/>apted for its funct<br/>ion
- What differentiation is
- Why differentiation is important

This video is answering the question of what are stem cells.

If we want to learn about plant structure and function, we have to start with the smallest components, and those would be plant cells. Just like animals, plants are made of eukaryotic cells of different types, and in plants these are...
