Regeneration sounds like a superpower. It is the ability to regrow lost tissues, organs, or limbs. Some creatures, like axolotls or starfish, do this effortlessly. Their bodies replace what was ...

Some animals in the world possess the ability to regenerate tissues, allowing them to regrow parts of limbs or entire limbs after amputation. In a study published in the journal PNAS, a ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

A team of scientists has mapped the regions surrounding stem cells in planarians—small flatworms that are famous for being able to regrow whole bodies from small fragments—and discovered something ...

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 ...

Although often glossed over, the human liver is a pretty amazing organ. Not just because it’s pretty much the sole thing that prevents our food from killing us, but also because it’s the only organ in ...

In the field of Regenerative Medicine, the preclinical and clinical research on multipotent adult stem cells, and in ...

A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

Hierarchical communication between cells with distinct positional memories orchestrates the regeneration of missing limb structures in axolotls.

New research shows hibernating mammals protect muscle stem cells by suppressing activation, inflammation, and regeneration during cold, inactive periods.
