Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques, the team has shed light on the cell signaling mechanisms guiding differentiation in stem cells in the developing teeth, offering key insights for future regenerative dental therapies.
Penn researchers have developed an AI-powered device that turns ordinary glasses into a smart, energy-efficient health monitor by watching you blink.
New research from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) provides a powerful, scalable method for finding treatments for rare genetic diseases using tiny, transparent worms.
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have accomplished a unique proof of concept to treat infertility by turning skin cells into eggs capable of producing early human embryos. The research is published in Nature Communications.
An advanced AI tool can detect tiny brain lesions that cause severe epilepsy in children, allowing faster diagnosis, more precise treatment and a potential cure, according to a new study.
Tooth decay is the most common health condition worldwide. While it is preventable and treatable, billions of people are living with cavities and the pain that accompanies them.
A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in the journal The BMJ, shows how a simple blood analysis can predict the risk of developing severe liver disease. The method may already start to be applied in primary care to enable the earlier detection of cirrhosis and cancer of the liver.
Alzheimer’s disease is marked by the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain, but most ways of studying these deposits in mouse models require sacrificing the animals. That limits researchers’ ability to follow how the disease develops or how treatments work over time.
Could a simple blood test reveal how well someone is aging?
Investigators saw a 71% reduction in myopia progression in children who used the lenses for two years.
