Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. As our bodies grow and develop, cells naturally die off where they are ...

MicroRNA-27a has been shown to stimulate both the wingless-type integration site family, or Wnt signaling, and the bone morphogenetic protein pathways to actively promote bone regeneration, according ...

The scientists, co-led by Wei Wang, PhD, and colleagues, performed a side-by-side genetic comparison between mammal species—including rabbits—that can regenerate ear tissue and those—including ...

Research led by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing has discovered that switching on a single dormant gene enables mice to regenerate ear tissue. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...
