When you hear the word “stem cells,” what comes to mind? Probably images of scientists in white lab coats hovering over test tubes and microscopes. But what do stem cells actually do? How Do Stem Cells Turn into Tissues? Stem cells are unspecialized cells that have the potential to turn into any other type of …
What are Xenobots? Last year, a team of computer scientists and biologists from Tufts university and University of Vermont (UVM) created unique, small robots from frogs. The Xenobots are made from the stem cells of an African clawed frog called Xenopus laevis. The cells have tiny little hair like projections called cilia that helps them …

Stem cell therapy is a unique approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease(AD). It involves the introduction of Mesenchymal Stem Cells into the body via IV. In large quantities, these cells can find damage within the body and repair it. Therefore, this property can make stem cell treatment for Alzheimer’s disease possible. What is Alzheimer’s disease? AD …
