DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor ...

The discovery challenges the long-standing idea that early humans mainly evolved and survived in open grasslands, coasts, or ...

Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...

For patients with severe corneal injuries, blindness has often been seen as a life sentence. But a new eye stem cell transplant may change that. Scientists at Massachusetts Eye and Ear have ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

NASA proposes to pioneer a radically new approach to mitigating radiation-induced cell damage in astronauts by transplanting new undamaged mitochondria (critical radiation-sensitive cell organelles) ...

Barrier organs that form boundaries between the body and the outside environment, such as the lungs, skin, and intestines, ...

Stem cell therapy may offer relief for some people with early knee damage or mild osteoarthritis and could help delay surgery ...
