Senescent cells are cells that have permanently stopped dividing in response to cellular stress but have not died. As organisms age, the number of senescent cells in the body increases. This ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky.

Learn how axolotls are able to fully regenerate their thymus, a small organ that trains immune cells to fight infections.

Adult skeletal muscle is a tissue with a high capacity for regeneration due to the existence of stem cell population, termed ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. Peter Dempsey, PhD, professor of ...

The intestine is among the most regenerative tissues in the body; however, aging triggers various changes that collectively ...

Scientists identify specific genes involved in zebrafish sensory hair cell regrowth, providing new insights that could inform future research into hearing loss treatments. While humans can regularly ...

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need ...
