Our laboratory studies both stem cell-intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms altering tissue renewal capacity, and how such mechanisms ultimately result in the functional decline we recognize as aging.

“Our paper highlights key hormone players that orchestrate pathways of skin aging such as degradation of connective tissue ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

He explained that the skin is the largest organ and undergoes both chronological and extrinsic ... of skin aging such as ...

Stem cells function as a source of new cells to grow or replace specialised tissues. To perform this function, these cells must divide to renew themselves, while some of their descendants ...

Stem cells are the only cells in your body that can grow into over 200 different kinds of unique cells. If you have a stem cell transplant, diseased or damaged stem cells in your body are replaced ...

Andre Catic, M.D., Ph.D. joined the Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Center and the Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine in 2014 as a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research. His ...

A stem cell transplant can be a good treatment for multiple myeloma. A successful transplant gives someone with multiple myeloma new, healthy bone marrow. It replaces the bone marrow harmed by myeloma ...

However, as we age, capacity of stem cells declines, and the resulting drop in tissue repair manifests as the functional decline associated with aging. Our goal is to understand why stem cell activity ...
