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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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.

Stem cell transplantation can reverse stroke damage, researchers at the University of Zurich report. Its beneficial effects include regeneration of neurons and restoration of motor functions, marking ...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved stem cell therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, people could participate in clinical trials involving this ALS treatment.
