Many of the body's processes slow down or falter as we get older, including tissue regeneration. In a new study, researchers ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

The vertebrate retina is a highly organised neural circuit, comprising diverse cell types that transform light into the complex neural codes underlying vision. At the forefront are photoreceptors, ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

A small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer ...

The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — long-lived cells that help repair and replace damaged tissue in the lungs — ...

In a new study, published in Cell, the research team have overcome this problem by identifying the distinct 'electrical signatures' of different neuron types in the mouse brain, using brief pulses of ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Each immune cell group has distinct metabolic requirements, activation pathways, and cytokine reliance. Standard, one-size-fits-all media cannot address these features. When studying diverse cell ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...
