Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

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 research offers unprecedented opportunities for developing new medical therapies for debilitating diseases and a new way to explore fundamental questions of biology. Stem cells are ...

Researchers found that stem cells derived from human baby teeth improved motor skills, learning and brain repair in rats with chronic-phase cerebral palsy. The cells migrated to injured brain regions ...

In cell culture experiments, stem cells from human baby teeth promoted neural cell proliferation. In rat models, the stem ...

From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...
