The skin is the largest human organ and a site of substantial disease burden, yet its cellular and molecular organization across the body is largely undefined. Here we construct an organ-wide ...

A research consortium has established a new framework to identify and catalog senescent cells—cells that stop dividing but remain active in the body. Because senescent cells accumulate with age and ...

Scientists have made a landmark breakthrough that enables the creation of viable human egg cells from a skin cell, new research claims. The study, published in Nature Communications, detailed how US ...

Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular ...
