Scientists at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) have developed a promising injectable cell treatment for osteoarthritis that both decreases inflammation and regenerates articular cartilage.
Pune (Maharashtra) [India], January 12 (ANI/PRNewswire): Entering its 30th year since being founded in 1993, WOTR, in collaboration with its partners, has helped regenerate over 2.22 million hectares of degraded landscapes/watersheds and created over 158 billion litres of potential water har
Researchers have engineered molecules that act like 'cellular glue,' allowing them to direct in a precise fashion how cells bond with each other. The discovery represents a major step toward building tissues and organs, a long-sought goal of regenerative medicine.
New Delhi [India], November 24 (ANI/PNN): Skin tags and moles may be innocuous, but they are unsightly; also, they may be malignant or symptoms of an underlying health concern.
Although leprosy is among the oldest and most enduring diseases in the world, the bacteria that cause it may also have a surprisingly strong capacity to grow and regenerate an essential organ.
Researchers have discovered that parasites associated with leprosy can reprogramme cells to increase the size of a liver in adult animals without causing damage, scarring or tumors.
Blood stem cell transplantation is a radical but highly effective therapy for multiple sclerosis. A study has now examined in detail the way in which the treatment curbs the autoimmune disease and how the immune system regenerates afterward. A better understanding of these mechanisms should
As heart cells mature in mice, the number of communication pathways called nuclear pores dramatically decreases, according to new research from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC scientists. While this might protect the organ from damaging signals, it could also prevent adult heart cells from
Washington [US], September 21 (ANI): Currently, there are no effective treatments for spinal cord injury; physical rehabilitation can help patients regain some mobility, but the outcomes are severely limited in severe cases due to the failure of spinal neurons to regenerate naturally after i
Pohang [South Korea], July 2 (ANI): In collaboration with Dr Hyo Jeong Kim of the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, a research team led by Professor Hyung Joon Cha, Woo Hyung Park, and PhD candidate Jae Yun Lee from the Department of Chemical Engineering at POSTECH has created
Washington [US], June 26 (ANI): A new study at the University of Alabama suggests that while lower vertebrates can repair their adult hearts after a heart attack, mammals and humans. The ability to regenerate dead muscle tissue in mammalian hearts disappears just a few days after birth becau
Washington [US], June 20 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Houston revealed a new technology that not only repairs heart muscle cells in mice but also regenerates them following a heart attack, or myocardial infarction as it's medically known.
