The utilization of biodegradable biomaterials as a therapeutic modality for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration has emerged as a promising avenue for ...

After certain kinds of injuries or wounds — think heart attacks, burns and tendon tears, among others — scar tissue can form ...

Researchers have revealed how amphibians and mammals heal musculoskeletal tissues. Using mechanical testing and microscopy, they found that newts heal their tendons using collagenous tissue that acts ...

A team of researchers have developed a 3D-printed, biodegradable heart patch that seals holes in heart tissue and supports tissue regeneration, showing promise as a safer alternative to current ...

A research group led by Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering has uncovered how rapid tendon regeneration occurs in newts. The research, published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research, ...

Research led by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing has discovered that switching on a single dormant gene enables mice to regenerate ear tissue. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

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 ...

Plants have an extraordinary ability to sense tissue damage and quickly rebuild their protective outer layers, a process ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but this isn’t the case in adults. After a heart attack, most adults struggle to ...
