Bone regeneration is a complicated procedure, and the current approaches for facilitating this regeneration, such as grafts and the application of growth factors, encounter challenges…
Scientists develop a gel derived from wood pulp to repair damaged heart tissue and improve cancer treatments. You can mend a broken heart this Valentine’s…
Japanese scientists have uncovered that Cladonema jellyfish regenerate tentacles using stem-like proliferative cells, offering new insights into the blastema formation process and its evolutionary parallels…
In the journal Circulation, the authors reveal an exciting new avenue of study for repairing damaged hearts. Think of them as the Energizer Bunnies of…
The multicellular bots move around and help heal “wounds” created in cultured neurons. Researchers at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have created tiny…
Armed with its own eyes, antennae, and swimming bristles, the posterior body part of a sea worm detaches for spawning. Scientists revealed its developmental mechanism…
In some organisms, damage to one body part can trigger healing in another area. Recent findings indicate that this whole-body response isn’t a side effect:…
A cousin of jellyfish and corals can regenerate its entire body with help from “aging” cells. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health and their…
Researchers in Japan have identified how the WOX13 gene negatively controls the destiny of regenerating plant cells, affecting the efficiency of shoot regeneration. Plants possess…
An adult who becomes deaf cannot regain their hearing since the inner ear’s sensory cells, once damaged, don’t regenerate. In recent research, with partial funding…
A study led by Dr. Hyun Kyoung Lee, associate professor at Baylor College of Medicine and investigator at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research…
This advance is viewed as a pivotal initial step toward innovative therapies for the repair and regeneration of teeth. Stem cells have been used to…
Scientists from the Keck School of Medicine of USC identify key cells involved in the process of cartilage regeneration in lizards—a discovery that could offer…
Cardiovascular conditions like heart attacks are among the major causes of death globally, a result of the human heart’s limited self-healing power. Unlike humans, zebrafish…
Scientists show that so-called senescent cells, i.e., cells that have permanently stopped dividing, boost production of new muscle cells to enhance regeneration of lost limbs…
Can the human brain regenerate itself? And is it possible to harness this regenerative capacity during aging or in neurodegenerative conditions? These questions have long…
In a landmark achievement, scientists from The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have shown that bio-engineered heart tissues can assist patients in recovering from the…
Engineered stem cells do not provoke dangerous heart rhythms, a challenge that has prevented the progress of stem cell transplants for damaged hearts. Researchers at…
