Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for treating intractable intestinal diseases due to their low risk of rejection ...

Periodically abstaining from food helps intestinal stem cells regenerate and heal from injuries—but also increases cancer risk in mice. Intermittent fasting can delay the onset of some age-related ...

Intermittent fasting has proven benefits for metabolic health, but a new study shows that it could slow hair growth—at least in mice. Researchers report December 13 in the Cell Press journal Cell that ...

Scientists are learning more about the molecular mechanisms that kick in when people stop eating and start fasting. They've observed how a 24-hour fast boosts intestinal stem cells in mice, and ...

A type of flatworms, called planarians, can regenerate whole organisms from pieces as small as one-279th of their body. 1 Depending on how these goofy-looking worms were cut, they could even come back ...

EPFL scientists have shown that a gene linked to a rare childhood disease is essential for regenerating intestinal stem cells after injury. Our intestines are constantly renewing themselves, replacing ...

Findings from an interim analysis showed CELZ-201-DDT statistically significantly reduced pain and improved mobility in patients with chronic lower back pain. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ...

Hair cells in the inner ear detect mechanical stimuli from sound waves and convert them into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. Some animals, such as zebrafish, can regenerate their ...
