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 ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the nucleolus, long known ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

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

Support cells surrounding stem cells rather than stem cells alone, are far more vulnerable to ageing and may hold the key to understanding how tissues age and lose their generative capacity.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

Stem cell IVF could enable same-sex couples and single parents to have genetically related children. It’s time to think ...

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 ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones. Dr. Amy ...

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