Stem cells hold the key to wound healing, as they develop into specialised cell types throughout the body – including in teeth. Now an international team of researchers has found a mechanism... Read more
Researchers at King’s College London have used single cell RNA sequencing to identify a type of cell that may be able to regenerate liver tissue, treating liver failure without the need for... Read more
Gel suppresses scarring, creates scaffolding for new neurons and blood vessels A new stroke-healing gel created by UCLA researchers helped regrow neurons and blood vessels in mice whose brai... Read more
Scientists have found a way of mimicking our body’s natural healing process, using cell derived nano-sized particles called vesicles, to repair damaged tissue. The paper, published in Scient... Read more
DNA strands in materials act like traffic signals to start, stop cell activity or regenerate tissue A groundbreaking advancement in materials from Northwestern University could potentially h... Read more
Synopsis: What if humans could regrow an amputated arm or leg, or completely restore nervous system function after a spinal cord injury? A new study of one of our closest invertebrate relati... Read more
Limb or organ regrowth may be hidden in our genes If you trace our evolutionary tree way back to its roots — long before the shedding of gills or the development of opposable thumbs... Read more
Stem cell therapies capable of regenerating any human tissue damaged by injury, disease or ageing could be available within a few years, following breakthrough research led by UNSW researche... Read more
The concept sounds like the stuff of science fiction: take a pill, and suddenly new tissues grow to replace damaged ones Researchers at Case Western Reserve and UT Southwestern Medical Cente... Read more
Researchers have discovered a way to stimulate muscle regrowth in the heart of a mouse, opening up prospects of new treatments for the 55,000 Australians who suffer heart attacks each year R... Read more
Researchers in the United Kingdom and Malaysia are developing a new class of injectable material that stimulates stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue and form new blood vessels, heart and... Read more
Enhancing cell metabolism was an unexpected key to tissue repair Young animals are known to repair their tissues effortlessly, but can this capacity be recaptured in adults? A new study from... Read more
