Heal your heel!

Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent cells that build up over time, the treatment boosted gut regeneration, reduced inflammation, and improved nutrient absorption in mice.

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibres in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a promising new method for repairing spinal fractures using stem cells extracted from adipose tissue, also known as body fat.

Gels are commonly used products that are soft and sticky. They can be applied to hair or to the jelly-like components in various foodstuffs. While human skin shares gel-like characteristics, it has unique qualities that are very hard to replicate. It combines high stiffness with flexibility, and it has remarkable self-healing capabilities, often healing completely within 24 hours after injury.

A new study suggests that understanding resilience--the ability of injured lung tissue to heal and regenerate--may be key to advancing the treatment and prevention of life-threatening lung disease in extremely premature babies.

According to new research by Harvard psychologists Peter Aungle and Ellen Langer, perceived time has a major impact on the real-time it takes to heal physical wounds.

Every year, millions of people suffer from musculoskeletal injuries, and the healing process is typically lengthy and arduous. Patients usually go through therapy, gradually regaining muscle strength as their injuries heal.

A new Nano Today study headed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC discovered that people with diabetes had faulty exosomes, which can cause inflammation and slow down wound healing. Exosomes are nanoparticles that transport signals between cells.

A recent Nano Today study led by University of Pittsburgh and UPMC researchers found that diabetic individuals had faulty exosomes, which can lead to inflammation and impair wound healing. Exosomes are microscopic particles that shuttle signals between cells.

When an immunocompromised person's system starts to heal and create more white blood cells, it's usually a healthy sign - unless they acquire a potentially fatal inflammatory condition. According to new research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the pulmonary distress commonly associated with the illness is generated not by lung injury, but by freshly populated T-cells entering the brain.
