A new study has shown that the front and back regions of the brain develop from different types of stem cells, challenging previous beliefs. This discovery has made it possible, for the first time, to grow brainstem neurons in the laboratory and opens up new opportunities for researching and treating serious diseases.
A new study has shown that being in space accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem cells, reducing their ability to regenerate. These findings are important for protecting astronauts' health and for studying the aging process on Earth.
A new study has shown that impaired blood flow accelerates tumor growth by weakening the body's immune defenses, in a manner similar to aging. These findings pave the way for new strategies in cancer prevention and treatment.
