Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then differentiated ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa (UI) Health Care and colleagues at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute, and Boston University, used human skin explants to track the cellular route that the ...

The skin has two types of adult stem cells: epidermal and hair follicle. Their jobs seem well-defined: maintaining the skin, or maintaining hair growth. But as research from Rockefeller University has ...

For the first time, researchers have created a single cell atlas of prenatal human skin to understand how skin forms, and what goes wrong in disease. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, ...

Researchers from Okayama University of Science have identified bitter taste receptors in keratinocytes (skin cells). Previously thought to exist only on the tongue, these receptors detect and expel ...

Cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop proliferating, is often associated with aging and pathologies like cancer. 1 Recently, though, researchers found senescent cells at the site of ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Newcastle University, together with a team of international collaborators, have created a single-cell atlas of prenatal human skin, and a “mini organ” ...
