Scientists from a collection of Chinese research institutions collaborated on a study of organ regeneration in mammals, finding deer antler blastema progenitor cells are a possible source of conserved ...

Deer antlers represent a unique model of complete organ regeneration in adult mammals, undergoing annual cycles of rapid growth, mineralisation and shedding without scar formation. This process is ...

Every second, millions of blood cells are produced in the human body, and about 90% of the cells replaced daily are blood cells. These include red blood cells essential for oxygen transport, platelets ...

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

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 ...

Humans have around 30 trillion cells in our adult bodies. Amazingly, each of these cells came from a handful of about 100 stem cells in the earliest days of development. The ability of these embryonic ...
