A cell on its way to becoming skin pigment, blood, or nerve does not make that shift alone. It responds to a dense web of ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa (UI) Health Care and colleagues at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute, and Boston University, used human skin explants to track the cellular route that the ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...

For the first time, researchers have created a single cell atlas of prenatal human skin to understand how skin forms, and what goes wrong in disease. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, ...

VC is known for its antioxidant properties in the skin and has been previously shown to boost collagen synthesis. Now, the same team of researchers has taken this a step further, using advanced ...

Could wounded skin someday regrow perfectly without scars? A new study by Harvard stem cell biologists published March 20 in Cell reveals a way to fully regenerate skin by unblocking an embryonic ...
