Two Northeastern University researchers want to make life better for people who've experienced serious physical trauma, the ...
Researchers in Brazil have developed a graphene-based scaffold derived from industrial waste that attracted bone cells and ...
When stem cells are injected into thick tissues, they often clump together and die from lack of oxygen or nutrients, making ...
Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...
Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...
In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go ...
In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...
When there’s nothing else to prescribe, hope works like a drug. A quadriplegic patient tells herself it’s not a matter of if they find a cure but when. Who’s to say whether salvation is still 10 or 15 ...
