Human stem cells can differentiate into any human cell. But the process of dedifferentiation, essentially differentiation in reverse, is implicated in several diseases. Now researchers have uncovered ...

Scientists found that the same stem cells that color hair can either turn gray safely or become cancerous, depending on the ...

The study reveals how hair pigment stem cells respond to DNA damage by making fate decisions that can result in either hair graying or the development of melanoma. Throughout life, our cells face ...

When your hair starts to go gray, that’s how you know you’re getting old. But those silver strands might be more than just a ...

The process of cellular differentiation, in which human pluripotent stem cells (hPCSs) progress from primitive to developmentally advanced states, is a fundamental aspect of life. Understanding this ...

Gray hair is an inevitable hallmark of aging. It's a visual reminder of the passing years and all the bodily changes that ...

The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is constantly turning over to replace dead or damaged cells throughout our lifetime. Skin stem cells need to continuously make decisions: either make more ...
