Researchers at Technion have uncovered a surprising natural mechanism through which the body repairs itself: Contrary to what ...

The research, published in Developmental Cell, is the first to show how local cells sense and respond to changes in basement membrane stiffness caused by damage—and how they activate a previously ...

FMI researchers and their collaborators have shown how regenerating intestinal tissue turns small initial differences between ...

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 new study by researchers at the Department of Molecular Medicine at SDU sheds light on one of the most severe consequences of stroke: damage to the brain's "cables"-the so-called nerve fibers-which ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The discovery came from studying tiny molecular messages ...

Recovering from acute kidney damage isn't just about growing kidney cells—it also requires kidney tissue to stiffen temporarily, University of Connecticut researchers report Dec. 3 in the Journal of ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have reported that simultaneous delivery of five therapeutic messenger RNAs reduced heart tissue damage, improved cardiac function and increased survival in ...

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 ...

A new study by Vanderbilt investigators has uncovered a previously unknown biological mechanism: how tissues detect and respond to damage in basement membranes, the thin layers of extracellular matrix ...
