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 team of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Duke University has created a new kind of tissue that can change heart activity using only light—no wires, no surgery, no harm. This groundbreaking ...

This is the first time that brain tissue has been cryogenically frozen and revived without damage. In a process called vitrification, researchers treated slices of mouse brains with cryoprotectants ...

Lizard tail regeneration represents a remarkable example of epimorphic regeneration in amniote vertebrates, offering insights into tissue repair processes that contrast sharply with the scarring ...

Schematic representation of the A/B-sides multi-biological functional hydrogel patch. Tissue repair required in scenarios such as trauma, post-operative of tumors is a common challenge for human ...

The study uncovers a unique reparative function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the process of fracture healing, a discovery that adds a new dimension to our understanding of the immune response in ...

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 ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are well known as a form of cancer treatment. Researchers at UZH have now identified a new, important function of these inhibitors: promotion of tissue healing. This ...
