Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed an injectable hydrogel, a water-based gel ...

A mouse digit does not usually grow back once it is amputated above the tip. It seals the wound, lays down scar tissue, and ...

There is tremendous interest in the development of drugs that target senescent cells (‘senolytic’ drugs) to treat a range of age-related morbidities. However, studies in mice that demonstrate impaired ...

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 ...

Extracellular vesicles from menstrual blood stem cells promoted cartilage production in human tissues, offering a potential ...

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 decline in regeneration efficiency after birth in mammals is a significant roadblock for regenerative medicine in tissue repair. We previously developed a computational agent based-model (ABM) ...

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 ...

Medical researchers have found a peptide which, when administered intravenously, homes in on the new blood vessels that are forming in damaged tissue. The peptide has been used as a delivery vehicle ...

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 ...
