Features of spaceflight such as gravitational changes and circadian rhythm disruption—not to mention radiation—take a toll on the body, including muscle wasting and decreased bone density. These may even affect the ability ...
A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Assistant Professor Ryusaku Matsumoto (Department of Life Science Frontiers) has developed a machine learning model that enables early prediction of hypothalamus–pituitary ...
A new process could help to treat liver disease without needing an organ transplant, a new study reveals.
Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like cells were generated in just ...
Sarcopenia, which is a progressive and extensive decline in muscle mass and strength, is common with aging and is estimated to affect up to 50% of people aged 80 and older. It can lead to disability and injuries from falls ...
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most prevalent form of permanent hearing loss, affecting over 6% of the global population, according to the World Health Organization. It results from damage to sensory hair cells ...
The stem cell-based embryo model (SCBEM) takes advantage of the flexibility of pluripotent stem cells (non-reproductive cells that can give rise to many different types of cells) to resemble that of embryos. While this model ...
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Embryo Models Working Group has released updated recommendations for the oversight and regulation of stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEM), aiming to address rapid ...
Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular "traffic cops" known as morphogens regulate ...
A novel study has unveiled a technique that enhances stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases by combining magnetic guidance with localized ultrasound stimulation. This approach successfully navigates magnetically ...
