This is a fluorescently labeled section of embryonic human skin. The dark, diagonal slash through the center of the image is a hair follicle (1). The pink areas are stem cells in the hair follicles ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem cells.

One fact is that our body has many moving parts that communicate with us every second, and the skin is one of them. A ...

Researchers discovered that epithelial cells that line human skin are able to communicate danger to the body through a silent 'scream'.

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a conversion method that is highly efficient and can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells, this ...

they discovered that this was enhanced by macrophages – the first time that these cells have been shown to have a role to play a role in the formation of human skin on top of their known ...

For the first time, researchers have mapped a human skin cell to understand how skin forms before birth, and what goes wrong in disease. Before birth, skin has the unique ability to heal without ...

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a highly efficient conversion method that can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells, this approach ...

Glucose is life's main energy source. But a new study reveals a surprising role as a master manipulator of tissue maturation, hinting at its importance in diabetes and cancer.
