A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refinin ...

Prof. Roger Pedersen, Stanford University, and Dr. Thomas Moreau, bit.bio, will give an overview of the innovative history and recent developments in transcription factor-mediated cellular ...

Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied ...

Scientists have observed signs of rejuvenation in the pancreas, liver, spleen, and blood of mice after applying one cycle of cell reprogramming. To achieve this, the researchers have characterized ...

Modulation of a single amino acid in the reprogramming factor Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) has been demonstrated to markedly improve natural transcription factor function and to result in faster and ...

Billions of dollars are pouring into longevity startups as a growing body of research shows that aging might not be as inevitable as we assumed. Now, a startup claims to have reached a major milestone ...

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men worldwide. However, the mechanisms controlling the early stages of prostate cancer ...
