A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

This discovery opens the door to new therapeutic possibilities. If chromatin remodeling drives the loss of stem cell identity and the shift toward a transcriptional program, then stabilizing chromatin ...

Scientists have identified key changes to both chromosome structure and gene expression that affect stem cell function during aging. Using fruit flies, they found that these changes led to stem cell ...

The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

When celebrities talk about a health condition or medical treatment, it garners attention. The same thing happened when ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...
