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 ...

Researchers are learning how to coax aging blood stem cells in mice to behave more like their younger counterparts, restoring ...

Researchers Sumika Kato, Takeo Kubo, and Taro Fukazawa of the University of Tokyo have discovered that c1qtnf3, a secreting ...

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 ...

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 ...

whether human stem cells (i.e. special types of cells that can renew themselves and develop into many different cell types in the body) are beneficial in reducing death in people with decompensated ...

Aging is defined as the deterioration of function over time, and it is one of the main risk factors for numerous chronic ...

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 ...

PMF and post polycythemia vera (post-PV MF) or essential thrombocythemia (post-ET MF) are myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by a clonal stem cell-derived myeloproliferation and a reactive bone ...

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 ...

Human stem cells show signs of accelerated aging after time in orbit, according to a new study published in Cell Stem Cell.

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 ...
