New research shows hibernating mammals protect muscle stem cells by suppressing activation, inflammation, and regeneration ...

A team of scientists has mapped the regions surrounding stem cells in planarians—small flatworms that are famous for being able to regrow whole bodies from small fragments—and discovered something ...

Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin and functional limits of key regulators remain poorly understood. This study ...

Regeneration sounds like a superpower. It is the ability to regrow lost tissues, organs, or limbs. Some creatures, like axolotls or starfish, do this effortlessly. Their bodies replace what was ...

Planarians are a striking model for studying regeneration owing to their extraordinary capacity to reform entire body structures from small tissue fragments. This ability is mediated primarily by ...

Although often glossed over, the human liver is a pretty amazing organ. Not just because it’s pretty much the sole thing that prevents our food from killing us, but also because it’s the only organ in ...

You might feel the same every day, but biologically, you never are. Beneath the surface, your body is constantly rebuilding ...

Hierarchical communication between cells with distinct positional memories orchestrates the regeneration of missing limb structures in axolotls.

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...
