A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types. Using this ...

Unlike most cells in the human body, stem cells have the unique ability to divide indefinitely. This property makes them especially appealing to scientists exploring ways to extend human lifespans or ...

The Skin Aging and Challenges 2024 conference, organized on November 5-6 at Corinthia Palace Malta, will bring together leading scientists and researchers to explore the latest advancements in skin health, anti-aging, and cellular rejuvenation.

Pharmaceutical scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have identified and characterized a unique multidomain enzyme capable of catalyzing two distinct types of reactions, both vital for making drug molecules.

Discoveries that impact lifespan and healthspan in fruit flies are usually tested in mice before being considered potentially relevant in humans, a process that is expensive and time intensive. A pioneering approach taken at the Buck Institute leapfrogs over that standard methodology.

Unlike most cells in the human body, stem cells have the unique ability to divide indefinitely. This unique property makes them especially appealing to scientists exploring ways to extend human lifespans or develop new methods for repairing damaged tissues.
