Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury—a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A UCLA study conducted in mice reveals an unexpected cause: Stem cells in aged muscle accumulate higher ...

Recent studies have uncovered a fascinating link between dark chocolate consumption and stem cell activation. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 percent has been shown to activate stem ...

In regenerative medicine, macrophages and stem cells play pivotal roles in repairing central nervous system (CNS) injuries. These cells are instrumental due ...

As we get older, everything in our bodies age, even our cells. But brain cells are different. Most neurons last a lifetime, and the adult brain even contains several areas that can make new neurons ...

Key takeaways UCLA researchers studying mice discovered that stem cells in aged muscle accumulate a protective protein called NDRG1 that slows their ability to repair tissue but helps the cells ...

A single molecular switch is essential for blood stem cells to enter an activated, regenerative state in which they produce new blood cells, according to a preclinical study. The discovery could lead ...

A study in mice has found that maternal gut microbiome composition during pregnancy has long-term effects on offspring stem cell growth and development. The researchers, headed by Parag Kundu, PhD, at ...
