Researchers have identified the molecular and cellular mechanisms that transform healthy stem cells into oral cancer at the earliest stages of the disease. Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral ...

Two Northeastern University researchers want to make life better for people who've experienced serious physical trauma, the ...

When stem cells are injected into thick tissues, they often clump together and die from lack of oxygen or nutrients, making ...

Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

Representative immunofluorescence images showing normal oral epithelial cells (left) and early stages of oral cancer (right, showing blue cells invading the stroma) just 20 days after activation of ...
