Investigators from Cedars-Sinai and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a new way to deliver instructions that tell stem cells to grow into specific bodily structures, a ...

Regeneration is a fundamental biological process that restores damaged tissues and organs, and understanding its underlying mechanisms is crucial for ...

Deer antlers represent a singular model of mammalian regeneration, exhibiting a remarkable capacity for rapid, complete organ renewal each year. This exceptional process is primarily driven by ...

After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs. Stem cells (like the ones above, growing in petri dishes) are able to ...

Stem cells elicit immunomodulatory properties through surface protein expression and their secretome. These properties allow stem cells to influence the ...

The human body possesses remarkable abilities to heal, regenerate and protect itself when given the right nutritional support. Certain foods contain unique compounds that can simultaneously support ...

Mice lacking the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C showed a reduced ability to repair muscular damage compared to controls.

This image shows a coronal section through the mouse brain after stroke and neural stem cell transplantation. The dashed circle indicates the stroke area. The neurite projections of the transplanted ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky.

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...
