The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to the brain. During development, all the specialized neurons in the ...

A group of essential signaling molecules known as the Wnt pathway emerged early in the evolution of multicellular life. Scientists have been studying Wnt actions for four decades to comprehend its ...

A team of SAHMRI scientists has discovered a completely new type of cell that has the potential to enhance the future of tissue repair and generation. Dr. Sanuri Liyange, from the research team, says ...

Bone repair depends on skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs) moving to injured areas and developing into bone-forming cells, but ...

New study reveals how collagen receptors beta1 integrin and DDR2 cooperate to control skeletal progenitor cells for enhanced bone regeneration and healing.

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the nephrons. NPCs hold immense promise for ...

The authors highlight three potential regulators - galectin 1, galectin 3, and Myc - providing solid evidence for potential roles in modulating the proliferation of cochlear GER cells using gene ...
