Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs ...

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

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 ...

Prof. Roger Pedersen, Stanford University, and Dr. Thomas Moreau, bit.bio, will give an overview of the innovative history and recent developments in transcription factor-mediated cellular ...

Vitamin B12 is almost exclusively found in animal products, and this essential vitamin can be difficult for vegetarians and vegans to obtain. It is made through bacterial fermentation in the gut, ...

Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied ...

Modulation of a single amino acid in the reprogramming factor Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) has been demonstrated to markedly improve natural transcription factor function and to result in faster and ...

Scientists have observed signs of rejuvenation in the pancreas, liver, spleen, and blood of mice after applying one cycle of cell reprogramming. To achieve this, the researchers have characterized ...

While a cure remains elusive, cancer treatment has seen significant advances in recent years. New innovations include ...
