Nutrients direct intestinal stem cell function and affect ageing
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have unveiled a new mechanism linking the nutrient adaptation of intestinal stem cells with ageing, offering insights that could help maintain the functional capacity of the ageing gut.
Innovators grow pig embryo with humanised kidneys inside surrogate sow
From Cell Press 11/09/23 Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health researchers have successfully created chimeric embryos containing a combination of human and pig cells. When transferred into surrogate pig mothers, the developing humanized kidneys had normal structure and tubule formation after 28 days. This is the first time that scientists have been able to grow […]
Regenerating tooth enamel moves closer with stem-cell advance
From University of Washington School of Medicine/UW Medicine 17/08/23 Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the University of Washington in Seattle led this effort. “This is a critical first step […]
