Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to ‘time jump’ human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the ageing clock for cells without losing their specialised function. Work by ...

Scientists have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially 'freezing' a key molecule in the brain. The finding could pave the way for a new type of treatment for glioblastoma, the ...

The researchers published a paper in the journal Science detailing the process by which they made the first genetically modified mammal with fully reprogrammed genes. The team took each chromosome ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) have developed a novel way to engineer yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to create microbial communities that can perform complex ...

Skin cells reprogrammed to produce the neurotransmitter dopamine and inserted deep into the brain of a 69-year-old man with Parkinson's disease have allowed him to tie his shoes again and resume ...

Previous studies have found similarities in gene expression between resting brain stem cells and normal astrocytes even though they have very different functions. New research into epigenetic changes ...

In humans and other mammals, loss of neurons in the retina due to trauma or disease is an irreversible process that can lead to blindness. But unlike humans, some animals, such as fish, have the ...
