The mammalian liver has an extraordinary regenerative capacity, capable of fully restoring its mass and function after injury or partial resection. A study led by researchers at the University of ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...

The scientists, co-led by Wei Wang, PhD, and colleagues, performed a side-by-side genetic comparison between mammal species—including rabbits—that can regenerate ear tissue and those—including ...

The study provides a genome-wide map of the interactions between these regulatory elements of liver regeneration and the key genes involved in this process. From left to right, Montserrat Corominas, ...

The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Peripheral neurons can be extraordinarily large, with their extensions reaching up to ...

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 ...
