The ability of metazoans (multicellular animals) to regenerate lost body parts varies greatly. Some animals can regenerate their whole bodies, including phyla Cnidaria such as jellyfish, ...

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

Planarians are a striking model for studying regeneration owing to their extraordinary capacity to reform entire body structures from small tissue fragments. This ability is mediated primarily by ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. Their study in fruit flies, which first appeared in eLife as a ...

Endogenex today announced new findings supporting its technology for improving outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

The axolotl, a unique salamander native to the murky lakes around Mexico City, has long fascinated scientists with its remarkable ability to regrow lost limbs. Living among aggressive and ...

We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), Mrep functions as a pathogenic cell that ...

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers explain the molecular mechanisms behind their ...

A loss of salt and body fluid can stimulate kidney regeneration and repair in mice, according to a NIH-funded study led by USC Stem Cell scientist Janos Peti-Peterdi and published in The Journal of ...

Scientists are testing a novel technology to treat endodontic diseases more effectively through tissue regeneration instead of root canal therapy. Because the technology promotes formation of the type ...
