The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is constantly turning over to replace dead or damaged cells throughout our lifetime. Skin stem cells need to continuously make decisions: either make more copies of themselves (self-renewal) or switch their fate towards differentiation. The molecular m
An innovative technology developed at Tel Aviv University will enable bone regeneration to correct large bone defects by means of a special hydrogel. Following successful tests in an animal model, the researchers now plan to move forward to clinical trials.
North Carolina [US], October 9 (ANI): Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have made important strides in the exciting fields of cellular reprogramming and organ regeneration, and their findings could have a substantial impact on the development of future treatments for broken hearts.

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
Washington [US], September 5 (ANI): The phenomenon of regeneration was discovered over 200 years ago in the freshwater polyp Hydra. Until now, however, it was largely unclear how the orderly regeneration of lost tissues or organs is activated after injury. In its investigations of Hydra, an
Washington [US], September 2 (ANI): Mitochondria are fascinating shape-shifting organelles that have long been recognized as the powerhouses of our cells. However, little is known about how the continuous fission and fusion of these small energy sources affect stem cell activity and tissue r
Washington [US], August 27 (ANI): The vital role of immune cells that boost the production of liver cells has recently been discovered by MedUni Vienna research.

San Diego (California) [US] August 5 (ANI): Researchers in a new study discovered a component in the intestine that plays a crucial role in repairing damaged tissue.
Washington [US], August 4 (ANI): Researchers have discovered a therapeutic target for the preservation and regeneration of beta cells ( cells), the cells in the pancreas that produce and distribute insulin. This finding could be a game-changer for patients with type 2 diabetes. The discovery
