There are more than 275 million people that have moderate to profound hearing loss, and many are caused by a breach in the connection between…
Until now, cancer researchers haven’t been able to track what errant cancer cells have been doing in patients’ bodies, ie forming tumors. Three different groups…
New research from neurologists at John Hopkins explains how stem cells found in the adult mouse hippocampus are able to react by “listen in” on…
Contrary to the skin and liver, damaged hearts rarely heal themselves but there is new research that might raise hope for cell therapies. It’s been…
Newly published research details how a team of scientists discovered ITD-1, a molecule with many therapeutic possibilities that can be used to generate unlimited numbers…
New research data from scientists at USC San Diego suggests that the human exosome maintains progenitor cell function, functioning as a surveillance system in cells…
Using an animal model, scientists investigated the effects of a defective switch on cardiac development, finding that Ajuba plays a central role in regulating the…
By packaging Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) inside biodegradable nanoparticles, scientists developed a nanoparticle-based system to deliver growth factors to stem cells in culture, resulting in…
Using 2-photon intravital microscopy and focusing on the stem cell behavior in the hair follicle of a mouse, researchers at Yale were able to study…
New insights from stem cell research could possibly lead to new approaches for the treatment of human tumors. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of…
