Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures ...

Even with breakthroughs, treatment for advanced squamous cell carcinoma is more complex. Patients often need more than one treatment. Many patients with this advanced cancer are cared for by a team of ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have found that senescent cells — non-dividing “zombie” cells — accumulate in the skin as people age and may influence aging in other parts of the body. Their recent study ...

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...

Researchers in Japan are exploring a future where the body itself becomes a health monitor, no screens or batteries required.

When we are walking down a crowded street, our brains are constantly active, processing a myriad of visual stimuli. Faces are particularly important social stimuli, and, indeed, the human brain has ...

New research from scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) describes a process for converting skin cells directly into neurons that bypasses the induced pluripotent stem cell ...

Neural crest cells -- embryonic pluripotent cells within the facial primordium -- may be necessary for forming proper animal facial structures. Researchers have produced neural crest cell-rich ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

A newly discovered cell type could transform how plastic surgeries are performed—from facial reconstructions to nose jobs. Cartilage transplants are central to many procedures, being used to fix cleft ...
