Aging, at its most fundamental level, is a molecular process. Chemical marks on the genome shift and lose fidelity over time, ...

Researchers from Sichuan University developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel scaffold that regulates immune responses while sustaining calcium-driven bone regeneration for improved healing of skeletal ...

Adult cells in our body can only give rise to the same cell type. For example, a skin cell cannot give rise to a muscle cell but to skin cells only. This limits the potential use of adult cells for ...

A new study has shed light on the challenges of converting one type of specialized cell into another, a process critical for advances in regenerative medicine. Despite recent progress in the field, a ...

Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.

For those hoping to cure death, and they are legion, a 2016 experiment at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego has become liminal — the moment that changed everything. The experiment ...

To assemble these minuscule structures, researchers first create a scaffold: a long piece of single-stranded DNA with a carefully designed sequence of bases. Then they add hundreds of shorter DNA ...

Researchers developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that coordinates immune regulation and sustained bone regeneration for complex skeletal defects CHENGDU, SICHUAN ...
