Recent studies have uncovered a fascinating link between dark chocolate consumption and stem cell activation. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 percent has been shown to activate stem ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a novel pathway to wake up dormant neural stem cells, ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Spurred by the discoveries of human pluripotent stem cell culture by James Thomson in the 1990s and the induction of pluripotency from adult cells by Shinya Yamanaka in the 2000s, therapeutics derived ...

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for treating intractable intestinal diseases due to their low risk of rejection ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a new study has found, furthering scientists’ understanding of the potential effects of space exploration on the human body. Stem cells are found ...

Colon cancer has been on the rise in Americans under 50 for the last three decades, but it’s not exactly clear why. Researchers suspect poor diet, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, environmental ...

Collaborative study by Duke-NUS and NUS Mechanobiology Institute offers new hope for treating neurodevelopmental disorders by activating dormant neural stem cells and uncovering other mechanisms ...
