Ketogenic diet helps mouse muscle stem cells survive stress, Stanford-led study says
Muscle stem cells enter a deep resting state during fasting or when fed a high-fat ketogenic diet, a Stanford-led study finds. This promotes stem cell resilience but slows injury repair.

Electrically stimulated stem cells aid stroke recovery in rodents, Stanford researchers find
Stanford scientists have developed a device that delivers and electrically stimulates stem cells to promote stroke healing.

Old skeletal stem cells interfere with healing, promote ‘inflammaging’
Researchers have found that old skeletal stem cells contribute to bone fragility and poor healing in mice, but that a stem cell-boosting gel may help restore function.
