Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a study finds, furthering the understanding of the possible effects of ...

Stem cells are rare cells that are uniquely capable of both reproducing themselves (self-renewing) and generating the differentiated cell types that are needed to carry out specialized functions ...

Passegué and colleagues discuss recent advances in our understanding of the metabolic control of stem cell function, and how stem cell metabolism relates to homeostasis and ageing.

For years, doctors and scientists have tracked how space changes the human body. Astronauts often come back with weaker ...

Unlike traditional approaches that typically test one protein target or drug at a time in hopes of identifying an effective ...

New research has identified yet another way that spaceflight tampers with the human body. A study involving samples flown on ...

New research shows that the cells’ garbage-clearing function deteriorates with age—and opens the door to reversing the process.

A recent study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports has identified new ways to potentially enhance the SC-beta cell survivability through genetic manipulation of the cells.

Stem cells from adults function just as well as those from embryos Stem cells from elderly donors can be used for personalized treatment of age-related chronic and degenerative diseases, concludes ...

These single-cell transcriptomic analyses of the shoot apex yield insight into the processes of stem-cell function and cell-fate acquisition in the maize seedling and provide a valuable scaffold on ...

The body has an intricate system to defend against infections where each type of immune cell plays a distinct role. Now, a ...
