Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent ...

Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation — two processes that can wreak havoc as well as make repairs. When the injury is to the brain, the balance is that ...

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury and infections. It promotes healing through immune cell activation to target bacteria and other infections, but also allows for tissue repair.

If you skin your knee, your body makes new skin. If you donate a portion of your liver, what’s left will grow back to near-normal size. But if you lose a billion heart cells during a heart attack, ...

From silver nanofibers to smart, sensory-packed dressings, the next generation of wound-healing technology is blurring the line between biology and engineering. A new review has looked at what’s ...

Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

Recent research has unveiled the pivotal role of hair cells in accelerating skin healing processes. This discovery builds on previous findings that explained the scarless healing of oral wounds, ...

While my appetite gets back to normal, my daily multivitamin/mineral supplement is filling in the gaps of key healing ...

Axolotls and flatworms regenerate lost body parts through body-wide coordination, not local repair. Scientists analysed that this theory of regeneration could reshape regenerative medicine.
