Scientists Just Discovered a New Cell. It Was Predicted 100 Years Ago.
27th September 2024
Researchers in Australia have found a whole new type of cell that fills a major hole in our understanding of how the mammal body heals.
For over a century, scientists have hypothesized that a cell like this existed – and now, an adult version has been found at last, hiding in the aorta of grown mice.
The discovery was nine years in the making. Researchers have named the cells ‘EndoMac progenitors’, and the team is now searching for similar players in the human body.
