Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like ...

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem cells.

One of the key challenges of the modern genomics era is studying the thousands of genes in a single human cell at scale. To ...

For human health, prematurely aging cells are a big problem. When a cell ages and stops growing, its function changes, which can cause or worsen cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and other ...

Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ.

Further studies in other human cell types, including developing fat, bone and white blood cells, as well as mice genetically engineered to express fluorescent glucose sensors, showed similar patterns.
