A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

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 ...

For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of experiments is suggesting that some of that cellular wear and tear can be ...

"Aging has a relatively simple explanation and is apparently reversible." The post Scientists Testing Controversial Human Rejuvenation Compound Called ER-100 appeared first on Futurism.

Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study led by ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

Viruses have spent billions of years perfecting the art of invading cells, hijacking their machinery and spreading with ...
