Hair is pretty tricky. Unlike almost every other organ in the human body, which finishes its development in the womb, the ...

The ability to create hair follicles that implant, grow, and regenerate has been elusive—until now.

Scientists at UCSF invented a microscopic “womb” material for growing artificial organs (organoids) from scratch.

The initial 'seed' for the hair follicle begins with epithelial stem cells (which make the hair itself) and dermal papilla ...

Scientists have reported a laboratory culture system that can regenerate hair follicles in vitro with functional features normally seen only in living tissue, including follicle downgrowth, hair ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

India, March 18 -- Stem cell therapies using induced pluripotent stem cells have received conditional approval in Japan for treating Parkinson's disease and severe heart failure, advancing ...

In the lab, it’s easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units, or nephrons, that make up a human kidney. But ...

A three-year, nearly $5 million award from NASA will allow researchers at the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center at UC San Diego Health, Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine and their partners ...

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...
