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 ...

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting more than 60 million people worldwide, characterized by painful ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that serum from younger blood can be combined with bone marrow cells and injected into older skin cells, producing rejuvenating effects. This is known as heterochronic ...

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 ...
