You can regrow damaged skin in the area, sure—but also bone, tissue, and nerves.

New research from Stanford, Texas A&M, and Wake Forest has revealed biological and genetic mechanisms that allow mammals, including humans, to regenerate fingertips and other tissues. Studies ...

Tumor cells are known to be fickle sleeper agents, often lying dormant in distant tissues for years before reactivating and forming metastasis. Numerous factors have been studied to understand why the ...

Researchers have developed a soft laser-printed scaffold made almost entirely of water that bone cells readily colonize.

MicroRNA-27a has been shown to stimulate both the wingless-type integration site family, or Wnt signaling, and the bone morphogenetic protein pathways to actively promote bone regeneration, according ...

Laboratory trials demonstrated that the bio-ink closely mimics the extracellular matrix of bone tissue, facilitating cell ...

New protein-polysaccharide bio-ink enhances 3D bioprinting precision, cell viability and structural strength, offering ...

A new study of the PhyloBone project of the University of Turku, Finland, identifies hundreds of non-collagenous proteins in the bone matrix that may play regulatory roles in bone formation and ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...
