It is widely postulated that a decrease in the number and activity of stem cells contributes to the aging of human tissue. These changes could be fundamental to many symptoms of aging such as ...
As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal ...
Researchers at the University of Minnesota department of neurosurgery and Stem Cell Institute (SCI) have demonstrated the ability of transplanted adult stem cells to restore function in laboratory ...
A new study, led by the University of Vienna and the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, shows how the eyes of adult ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute an essential part of the gene networks that drive proliferation, viability and differentiation of stem and progenitor cells across different somatic lineages. Upstream of ...
The human body possesses remarkable abilities to heal, regenerate and protect itself when given the right nutritional support. Certain foods contain unique compounds that can simultaneously support ...
Dr. Jason Chien was not happy with the answers he could give his patients. Chien, an investigator in the Clinical Research Division's Pulmonary/Critical Care Section at the Hutchinson Center, knew ...
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.
MIT biologists have answered an important biological question: Why do cells control their size? Cells of the same type are strikingly uniform in size, while cell size differs between different cell ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- MIT biologists have discovered an unexpected effect of a ketogenic, or fat-rich, diet: They showed that high levels of ketone bodies, molecules produced by the breakdown of fat, help ...
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2007 -- A long-term study found that a type of stem cell transplant used for patients with life-threatening diseases, such as leukemia and lymphoma, results in decreased sexual ...
