Each year, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), millions of people in the U.S. are affected by spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries, along with neuro-developmental and ...

Eating is one of life’s few constants: If you’re not eating right now, you’ll certainly be eating something within a few hours. But when and how often we should eat is still not fully understood.

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. As our bodies grow and develop, cells naturally die off where they are ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...

Researchers find that senescent cells promote the dedifferentiation of muscle tissue and enhance limb regeneration in salamanders, challenging our understanding of cellular senescence. Senescent cells ...

Living human cells have resonant frequencies – rates at which they will naturally oscillate if the conditions are right. This has been suspected for decades, but researchers have now measured what ...

Scientists identify specific genes involved in zebrafish sensory hair cell regrowth, providing new insights that could inform future research into hearing loss treatments. While humans can regularly ...
