A mouse study reports that engulfment of apoptotic cells briefly activates an IKKβ–NFκB/p38 pathway in macrophages, driving ...

Aging can impair stem cell self-renewal and differentiation through molecular damage, inflammation, and changes in the surrounding tissue environment, contributing to slower repair. Experimental ...

A 2026 review finds that CPNE7-derived peptides can promote selected tissue-repair processes in preclinical models when engineered into collagen and chitosan biomaterials.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research has found the protein p53 plays a key role in epithelial migration and tissue repair. The findings could improve our understanding of the processes used by cells to repair tissues, and be ...

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 ...

An AI model created by researchers at King's can detect signs of faulty repair mechanisms in ovarian cancer cells, potentially leading to a low-cost, widely accessible diagnostic tool in the future.
