Multipotent neural stem cells originating from neuroepithelium exist outside the mouse central nervous system - Nature Cell Biology Han et al. report the existence of neural stem cells (NSCs) outside the central nervous system and show that these peripheral NSCs display features similar to brain NSCs, including the ability to diff...

New study reveals the tantalizing observation that neural stem cells exist outside the brain, found in the limb, lung, and tail. These peripheral NSCs can self-renew and differentiate, reshaping our understanding of nervous system development. bit.ly/4ieTGQt #Neurobiology #StemCells

Identification of Meibomian gland stem cell populations and mechanisms of aging - Nature Communications Aging-related Meibomian gland shrinkage is associated with dry eye disease. Here, the authors identify Meibomian gland stem cell populations and identify regulatory pathways altered in aging, suggesti...

Congratulations to the Millar Lab on the discovery of stem cells in the Meibomian gland of the eye! Their innovative research reveals how stem cell exhaustion and diminishing signaling contribute to gland shrinkage during aging, a key factor in evaporative dry eye disease. bit.ly/3XkoIyw #StemCell

We’re excited to announce that Dr. Eva Morava presented “Congenital Disorders and Vesicular Trafficking” at the Recordati Foundation’s “Inborn Errors of Metabolism with Abnormal Vesicular Trafficking” Conference this past November in Rome, Italy.
