A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a ...

A recent study comparing young and aged mouse intestinal tissues revealed a delicate balance between IFN-γ signaling and ERK/MAPK signaling as crucial for maintaining the intestinal stem cell ...

In the animal kingdom, the vertebrate intestine is renowned for its regenerative capacity, a vital process for maintaining ...

Blood stem cells and intestinal stem cells for example constantly produce new progeny. In contrast to this, muscle stem cells are normally quiescent and activate only if they receive a signal of ...

Scientist Sarallah Rezazadeh from the Icahn School of Medicine explores the molecular mechanisms behind adult stem cells as ...

Intestinal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells, which in mammals reside in the base of the crypts of the adult intestine. Intestinal stem cells continuously self-renew by dividing and ...

Impact of the stem cell niche on aging: we study the communication between stem cells and their niche (e.g. neighbor cells, ECM) in multiple tissues including the intestine, mammary, skeletal muscle, ...
