Critical proteins involved in animal stem cell regulation are much older than previously thought, predating the origin of animals that likely evolved more than 700 million years ago. This is the ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what you look like: the pigments of your eyes, of your skin, and the bone ...

The idea that stem cells - special cells that divide to repair and generate tissues - might be the major determinant of cancer risk has provoked great debate in the scientific community. Some ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

The outer ear is unique to mammals, but its evolutionary origin has remained a mystery. According to a new study published in Nature from the USC Stem Cell lab of Gage Crump, this intricate coil of ...

Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to ...

At Liv Hospital, specialists emphasize that stem cell therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it is carefully indicated for specific diseases, patient profiles, and treatment ...

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury—a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A UCLA study conducted in ...

Supplementing the guts of older mice with poop from younger ones has revealed the key role microbes play in intestinal stem cell function. After receiving a fecal microbiota transplant from younger ...
