Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Researchers have shown that cardiac scar tissue (fibroblasts) can be directly reprogrammed to heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) in mice. By treating mice post-heart attack with a virus carrying ...

Scientists at the UCSF-affiliated Gladstone Institutes today are announcing a research breakthrough in mice that one day may help doctors restore hearts damaged by heart attacks — by converting ...

New UCLA research conducted in mice could explain why some people suffer more extensive scarring than others after a heart attack. The study, published in the journal Cell, reveals that a protein ...

A single intramuscular injection of a self-amplifying RNA therapy produced weeks of heart-protective protein in rat models of ...

WASHINGTON – Scientists implanted thin sheets of scaffolding-like material from pigs into a few young men with disabling leg injuries – and say the experimental treatment coaxed the men’s own stem ...

Some parts of the human body are in a state of constant regeneration. Liver cells, for example, are replaced every 300 to 500 days. Fingernails grow every day. But this aptitude rapidly declines when ...
