Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin ...

In Lila Guterman’s article “Hope Grows for Replacing Lost Limbs and Outworn Organs” (January 31), Ronald D.G. McKay is quoted as saying that for regeneration biology to contribute to medicine, “we ...

Over the past year, most of your body has replaced itself cell by cell. What can we learn from other animals’ dramatic feats ...

Oct. 20—ATHENS — While current medicine can slow down the progression of many diseases, the relatively new field of regenerative biology uses stem cells and advanced therapies to treat or reverse the ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...

Planarians are a striking model for studying regeneration owing to their extraordinary capacity to reform entire body structures from small tissue fragments. This ability is mediated primarily by ...

Axolotls, with their signature smiles and pink gills, are the celebrities of the salamander world. But they are more than just cute: They might also hold the secret to regenerating human limbs. Among ...

MatPat dives deep into the biological science behind the Time Lords’ most famous power—regeneration. Could a living organism really rewrite its DNA, heal mortal wounds, and transform into an entirely ...

Tunicates are marine invertebrate chordates that occupy a singular phylogenetic position as the closest extant relatives to vertebrates. Their diverse life histories, which include both solitary and ...

Our skeletal muscles, which link to bones and enable us to move, have a remarkable ability to regenerate after they've suffered an injury. Scientists have now developed a cutting edge microscopy tool ...

Scientists analyzing the regeneration of organs in mammals have found that a type of cell in deer antlers could be a reservoir of cellular renewal in higher vertebrates. Researchers found that when ...

Two recently published studies led by Brazilian scientists reveal the key roles of multifunctional proteins, STIP1 and Maspin, in vital cellular processes. When model cell membranes bind to ...
