And next on the agenda may be lab-grown faces.Researchers announced this week in Lancet that, four months ago, Claudia Castillo received a rare trachea transplant.

While tracheal defects are rare, they're life-threatening: babies born with incomplete, ... They specialize in making connective tissues, including muscle, bone, cartilage, ...

Adult stem cells replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues throughout our lifetime. We lose many of those stem cells, along with their regenerative capacity, as we age. Working in flies ...

Now, scientists and physicians at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, have discovered a way to use MakerBot’s 3D-printing technologies to create cartilage and repair tissue damage in ...

The work at the Buck Institute, led by postdoctoral fellow Samantha Haller, Ph.D., began in the intestines of fruit flies and moved to mouse trachea, tissues that share many similarities.

Adult stem cells replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues ... mice with the TOR-inhibitor rapamycin prevented this loss and could reverse age-related loss of stem cells in mouse trachea.
