Mesenchymal stem cells are both a success story and underperformers. Globally, there are 10 approved MSC-based therapies in nearly as many indications, although none of them have been approved by the ...

MIT biologists have answered an important biological question: Why do cells control their size? Cells of the same type are strikingly uniform in size, while cell size differs between different cell ...

A new study suggests that enlargement of stem cells contributes to age-related decline in function. The researchers found that blood stem cells, which are among the smallest cells in the body, lose ...

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

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key protein can help to regenerate neural stem cells, which may improve ...
