Evidence for cardiomyocyte renewal in humans

TL;DR: The capacity to generate cardiomyocytes in the adult human heart suggests that it may be rational to work toward the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at stimulating this process in cardiac pathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of fat cell turnover in humans

TL;DR: It is shown that adipocyte number is a major determinant for the fat mass in adults, however, the number of fat cells stays constant in adulthood in lean and obese individuals, even after marked weight loss, indicating that thenumber of adipocytes is set during childhood and adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Neural Stem Cell in the Adult Mammalian Central Nervous System

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that ependymal cells are neural stem cells and a novel process in the response to central nervous system injury is identified, identified in response to spinal cord injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Adult Humans

TL;DR: It is concluded that neurons are generated throughout adulthood and that the rates are comparable in middle-aged humans and mice, suggesting that adult hippocampal neurogenesis may contribute to human brain function.
