Stem Cell Advocates See RFK Jr.’s Influence Driving the Next Wave of Regenerative Medicine
Stem cell advocates see the FDA's openness toward peptides as a sign the agency may finally host public roundtables on their industry.
Two papers argue losing a cell’s sense of self is the engine behind human aging
Two papers propose aging stems from cells losing their identity rather than accumulating damage, a fresh model for understanding senescence.
APOE4 May Damage Brain Blood Vessels and Sabotage Protein Cleanup — and the Damage May Be Reversible
Mount Sinai finds Alzheimer's risk gene APOE4 damages brain blood vessels and builds abnormal proteins, but the damage may be reversible.
Stem cells regenerate stroke-damaged brain tissue and restore limb movement in mice
A tale of stem cells that, transplanted into a mouse's injured brain, restore motion and mend the very vessel that shields the mind.
Mice Born With Human Brain Cells and the Climate Tech Companies That Got Funding This Week
A mouse with half its brain made of human cells and nine young innovators fighting climate tech — the week's strangest science.
Stanford Grows Human Brain Tissue Inside Mice With Half Their Brains Removed
Stanford scientists grow human brain tissue inside mice, replacing half their own brains, showing cells moving into living tissue.
Stanford Team Builds a Mouse With a Human Brain Cortex in Its Skull
A Stanford team has implanted human brain cells into a mouse's cortex, creating an animal that remembers mazes better than a control mouse missing brain tissue.
