A contraceptive drug helps human nerve cells regenerate by unlocking their forgotten embryonic healing abilities.

Stem cells play central roles in tissue homeostasis, regeneration, and repair across diverse biological systems. Advances in stem cell biology, lineage tracing, organoid and bioengineered models, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. A professor of pediatrics-developmental biology and an assistant professor of ...

Diabetes researchers and bioinformaticians from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative drugs work. These drugs, developed at ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

When it comes to cancer, aging is a double-edged sword, researchers are increasingly learning. Age is considered the most important risk factor for cancer. That's because genetic mutations build up in ...

Hair cells in the inner ear detect mechanical stimuli from sound waves and convert them into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. Some animals, such as zebrafish, can regenerate their ...

A team led by Stanford biologist Bo Wang and lead author Chew Chai has identified a previously unknown type of immune cell in ...
