Learn how axolotls are able to fully regenerate their thymus, a small organ that trains immune cells to fight infections.

Professors Guillermo Ameer and Cheng Sun contributed to work that points to a new approach for heart bypass grafts.

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 ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and ...

Embryonic stem cells are powerful tools for understanding how organisms develop and how tissues regenerate. These cells have the remarkable ability to self ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. Peter Dempsey, PhD, professor of ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

Scientists identify specific genes involved in zebrafish sensory hair cell regrowth, providing new insights that could inform future research into hearing loss treatments. While humans can regularly ...

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need ...

Intermittent fasting has proven benefits for metabolic health, but a new study shows that it could slow hair growth—at least in mice. Researchers report December 13 in the Cell Press journal Cell that ...
