The reason why some animals can regenerate tissues after severe organ loss or amputation while others, such as humans, cannot renew some structures has always intrigued scientists. Cell regeneration ...

A cut in the womb can vanish almost without a trace. The same injury a few days after birth leaves behind a scar. That sharp ...

The demand for tissue and organ replacement following tissue damage (eg, severe burns) or diseases (eg, cardiomyopathy) is expanding, and, while the number of patients suffering from organ failure is ...

MDI Bio Lab scientists discovered how zebrafish solve a basic challenge in regenerative biology—insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair.

Regeneration is a trick many animals, including lizards, starfish, and octopuses, have mastered. Axolotls, a salamander species originating in Mexico, can regrow pretty much everything from severed ...

Biomaterials are specifically engineered to support tissue, nerve and muscle regeneration across the body, yet physicians and ...

The ability to repair tissue following injuries is essential for the survival of all animals. Following wounding, the skin is repaired by activating, migrating, and dividing skin stem cells. Defects ...

RIT biomedical engineering researchers identify a protein that can reduce fibrosis and slow disease progression.

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...
