Did you know that a small molecule called NAD+ plays a critical role in our aging process? A deficiency of this molecule may ...

These same genes may also maintain long-term stem cell functions. Stem cells can divide and renew themselves over a long period of time and are kind of like a skeleton key.

Neural stem cells are the source of the brain’s primary functional cells. After the initial development of the brain, neural stem cells typically enter a dormant state, conserving energy and resources ...

Scientists discover that dental pulp stem cells from wisdom teeth could regenerate neurons and bones and offer treatments for ...

Scientists find potential breakthrough for androgenetic alopecia using adipose-derived stem cells with ATP molecules, showing ...

However, the researchers noticed the fruit flies’ lifespans extended when HRJDs were expressed in intestinal stem cell lineages after development. “HRJDs promoted greater intestinal stem cell division ...

Prof Wang and her team had previously demonstrated that fruit fly neural stem cells are an excellent model for unraveling the ...

Can research into a rare, accelerated aging disease and "zombie cells" teach us something about the normal aging process?

Studer's team, for example, began looking at stem cells to treat brain diseases more than 25 years ago. "For us, it's quite an exciting time," he says, "finally seeing some of the fruit of that work." ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

FlyBase, the world's only fruit fly database, is in the crosshairs of Trump's attack on Harvard. Here's why it could matter ...

Dormant neural stem cells in fruit flies activate to generate new brain cells. Jun 18, 2019. Study identifies key molecular step for division of damaged mitochondria. Oct 7, 2024.
