Researchers found that extracellular vesicles from menstrual blood stem cells promoted cartilage regeneration and reduced ...

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 ...

A drug previously developed at UCLA to help heart tissue repair itself after a heart attack might also help kidney tissue repair and regenerate, researchers have found.

Tissue engineering utilizes 3D printing and bioink to grow human cells on scaffolds, creating replacements for damaged tissues like skin, cartilage, and even organs. A team of researchers led by ...

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 ...

Extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived scaffolds promote tissue regeneration in skeletal muscle injury, partly by favouring type 2 immune programmes. However, how inhibitory signalling pathways shape this ...

Scientists are testing two new molecules that may repair myelin in MS, shifting the focus from slowing attacks to true nerve ...

A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely tailored through chemical design. By harnessing the power of collagen-inspired ...

Could cord tissue stem cells change how we treat chronic pain and disease?

Macrophages that clear apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) proliferate to enhance tissue repair and resolution. Here, we find that a previously elucidated nucleotide ‘cargo’ proliferation pathway that ...

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 ...

Our livers contain many different types of immune cells. New research by the team of Prof. Charlotte Scott (VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) and colleagues now reveals that a specific ...
