Blocking a protein that becomes more abundant with age helped restore knee cartilage in older mice and protect injured mouse ...

Chronic diabetic wounds may fail to heal because immune cells remain locked in damaging inflammatory states instead of ...

The ability to repair tissue following injuries is essential for the survival of all animals. Following wounding, the skin is repaired by activating, migrating, and dividing skin stem cells. Defects ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are well known as a form of cancer treatment. Researchers at UZH have now identified a new, important function of these inhibitors: promotion of tissue healing. This ...

As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene regulators—proteins that turn genes on and off—that could restore the aging ...

A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has ...

The demand for tissue and organ replacement following tissue damage (eg, severe burns) or diseases (eg, cardiomyopathy) is expanding, and, while the number of patients suffering from organ failure is ...

Researchers from Monash University and Osaka University have unveiled a groundbreaking discovery regarding the pivotal role of sensory neurons in orchestrating tissue repair and regeneration, offering ...

Unique new material has shown significant promise in the treatment of spinal cord injury. The new hybrid biomaterials, in the form of nanoparticles and building on existing practice in the tissue ...
