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

Researchers have created a map of human skin that uses genomics and other technologies to understand how skin forms and the mechanisms behind skin disorders. The findings could be used to create ...

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.

Scientists have created a human skin map which provides a “recipe” to build skin. The findings could be used to create new ...
