Mice who spent their free time on a running wheel were better able to shrink tumors (a 50% reduction in tumor size) compared to their less active counterparts. Researchers found that the surge of adrenaline that comes with a high-intensity workout helped to move cancer-killing immune (NK) cells toward lung, liver, or skin tumors implanted into the mice.

The brains are grown using stem cells derived from human skin samples.

A study on human cells reveals how cellular aging affects the 3-D architecture of chromosomes.

Multipotential mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are present as a rare subpopulation within any type of stroma in the body of higher animals. Prominently, MSC have been recognized to reside in perivascular locations, supposedly maintaining blood vessel integrity. During tissue damage and injury, MSC/pericytes become activated, evade from their perivascular niche and are thus assumed to support wound healing and tissue regeneration. In vitro MSC exhibit demonstrated capabilities to differentiate in...

Here we present the first evidence that miR-195 overexpressed in old MSCs (OMSCs) induces stem cell senescence deteriorating their regenerative ability by directly deactivating telomerase reverse transcriptase (Tert), and abrogation of miR-195 can reverse stem cell aging.

When the anterior pituitary gland is damaged—through tumours, infections, or even genetic factors—many different disorders can arise, some of which—like insufficient ACTH—are life threatening.

After decades of piecemeal progress, the science of cryogenically storing human organs is warming up.

Scientists have been linking the benefits of physical exercise to brain health for many years, but new research is making it clear that the two aren't just simply related; rather, it is THE relationship.

PRMT7 is required for muscle stem cell self-renewal and regenerative capacity in vivo. PRMT7 deletion causes senescence of activated muscle stem cells. This entry into senescence is associated with persistent expression of p21.

Caltech biologists have developed a vector capable of noninvasive delivery of genetic cargo throughout the adult central nervous system.
