If you were old enough to watch the news or read the paper back in the late 1990s, you very likely remember Dolly, the cloned sheep. Born in 1996, the researchers responsible for cloning her kept it ...

Where the research has really made a difference is with stem cells. Because Dolly came from an adult sheep’s mammary cell, scientists learned they could change a cell’s gene expression when ...

In my Jan. 6 piece concluding my four-part series on stem cell therapy ... s DNA from a donor’s tissue—for example, skin or mammary tissue. This extracted nucleus is then inserted into an egg cell ...

A third nipple is an extra nipple that forms before birth. Also called a supernumerary nipple, it's usually smaller than a regular nipple and can be mistaken for a mole or birthmark. Third nipples are ...

In a first, aging-related gene expression changes in breast tissues are linked to alterations in chromatin accessibility.

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common and severe complication that occurs after stem cell transplantation, where the ...

A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a delicate balance between interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and extracellular ...
