Tufts University Researchers Unveil New 3D Model of Nasal Tissue, Revealing Hidden Role of Stem Cells in Restoring Sense of Smell

In the complex landscape of the human sensory system, the sense of smell often occupies a paradoxical position. It is frequently taken for granted until it vanishes, a phenomenon that became a global concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike the delicate neurons of the brain and spinal cord, which possess a notoriously limited capacity for […]

Tufts Researchers Uncover Hidden Role of ‘Dormant’ Stem Cells in Restoring the Sense of Smell Through Innovative 3D Tissue Model

In the intricate architecture of the human sensory system, the ability to perceive odors is often taken for granted—until it vanishes. For millions of people affected by viral infections, environmental toxins, or the natural progression of aging, the loss of smell is a profound disruption to quality of life. However, a groundbreaking study from researchers […]
