Stem cell research has emerged as one of the most promising and fascinating fields within modern biomedicine. These therapies are the result of years of research, aimed at restoring the body’s health ...

A new study led by Hartmut Geiger at the University of Ulm, Germany, and Yi Zheng and Kodandaramireddy Nalapareddy, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), USA reveals that age-related ...

A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

The capacity of intestinal stem cells to maintain cellular balance in the gut decreases upon aging. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism of action between the nutrient adaptation of intestinal ...

CHICAGO — Early results from a first-in-human trial some 20 years in the making suggest that neural stem cell transplantation is safe and improves motor function starting at 1 month after treatment in ...

A single injection of a new, off-the-shelf stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis significantly improved pain and function for up to 12 months in 75% of participants involved in a clinical trial.

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...
