Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures ...

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...

New research from scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) describes a process for converting skin cells directly into neurons that bypasses the induced pluripotent stem cell ...

When we are walking down a crowded street, our brains are constantly active, processing a myriad of visual stimuli. Faces are particularly important social stimuli, and, indeed, the human brain has ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

The Living Sensor Display uses skin patches to report internal inflammation, opening up a new avenue for controlling diseases ...

Neural crest cells -- embryonic pluripotent cells within the facial primordium -- may be necessary for forming proper animal facial structures. Researchers have produced neural crest cell-rich ...
