A Northwestern Medicine-led study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation has uncovered why older individuals with ...

Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...

The study reveals that these neighbouring cells are significantly more vulnerable to ageing-related damage, offering fresh ...

Pituitary stem cell biology has emerged as a pivotal field in understanding the maintenance and regeneration of the neuroendocrine system. Research in this domain has illuminated the role of ...

From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...

Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create human kidney disease in petri dishes. The achievement, believed to be the first of its kind, resulted ...

As people reach middle age and beyond, their waistlines tend to expand. Additional abdominal fat is known to cause a variety of health problems; it can accelerate aging; slow metabolism down; and ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...
