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

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

In a study of fingertip regeneration, a team led by JAX senior research scientist James Godwin found that some immune cells ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
