A study opens new perspectives to better understand how the molecular mechanisms involved in regenerative medicine work. The study focuses on tumor necrosis factor- (TNF- ) and its receptors TNFR, ...

When the human body gets hurt, most tissues heal—skin closes over a wound, bone heals itself. But not all organs heal that easily. The kidneys and the heart, for example, are not as willing to heal ...

The liver is the only internal organ that can regenerate itself. Remarkably, even if 70 percent of the liver is removed, its tissue can regrow into a full-sized organ within a matter of months. By ...

The ability to regenerate -- from individual cell types to entire organs or complex tissues -- is of crucial importance for all living species. The human body also regenerates, in short, dead cells ...

Plants have an extraordinary ability to sense tissue damage and quickly rebuild their protective outer layers, a process ...

The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has seen remarkable progress with the advent of 3D bioprinting technologies and the development of ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but this isn’t the case in adults. After a heart attack, most adults struggle to ...

From amphibians to fish, many animals can naturally regenerate lost tissue. But for humans, this is a little trickier. Now, researchers may have found a way to manipulate wounds so that they heal as ...
