Expanded Potential Stem Cell lines of pig and human cells established A new approach has enabled researchers to create Expanded Potential Stem Cells (EPSCs) of both pig and human cells. Thes... Read more
Rice bioengineers lead effort to print scaffolds to heal bone and cartilage Bioscientists are moving closer to 3D-printed artificial tissues to help heal bone and cartilage typically damaged... Read more
Study uncovers genes that control process of whole-body regeneration When it comes to regeneration, some animals are capable of amazing feats. If you cut off a salamander’s leg, it will grow... Read more
Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the stem cell institute HI-STEM* in Heidelberg have succeeded for the first time in directly reprogramming human blood cells into... Read more
While stem cells have the most therapeutic potential, the benefits of regenerative medicine may best be mobilised using extracellular vesicles (EVs), also known in the past as “cellular dust... Read more
Researchers at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have captured the one cell that is capable of regenerating an entire organism. For over a century, scientists have witnessed the eff... Read more
Shape-conforming hydrogel leverages the body’s own healing mechanisms rather than releasing drugs or biologics A simple scrape or sore might not cause alarm for most people. But for diabetic... Read more
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have developed a new way to grow mineralised materials which could regenerate hard tissues such as dental enamel and bone. Enamel, located on t... Read more
