In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go ...

Our skin protects us from everyday mechanical stresses, like friction, cuts, and impacts. A key part of this ...

Skin is an organ wired to regenerate, but wound healing is challenging in extreme cases such as burns or inflammatory conditions. Researchers explore the capacity of stem cells to boost skin ...

When the skin is injured, a stem cell’s survival instincts kick in. New research reveals that a simple amino acid, serine, helps push stem cells to abandon hair growth in favor of wound healing, ...

The skin has two types of adult stem cells: epidermal and hair follicle. Their jobs seem well-defined: maintaining the skin, or maintaining hair growth. But as research from Rockefeller University has ...

StemRIM Inc. ( ($JP:4599) ) has shared an announcement. StemRIM Inc. has announced the patent registration for its stem cell gene therapy ...

With roughly 2,000 giant pandas remaining in the wild, scientists have spent the last several decades looking for new ways to help the iconic black-and-white bears stave off extinction. And now, it ...

A team of scientists has mapped the regions surrounding stem cells in planarians—small flatworms that are famous for being ...

The embryos weren’t used to try to establish a pregnancy, but the researchers behind the technique say it could one day be ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a ...
