Other areas of current research include investigating cell cycle regulation in the growth of organs and in regeneration, where dormant cells can be switched back into a replicative state.

The cell cycle has been the subject of intense investigation during two periods since Virchow's 1855 realization that cells only arise from pre-existing cells. At the turn of the century ...

The idea that the human body completely regenerates itself every seven years is a widely shared “fact.” But how much truth is ...

Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur. Maggie Chen is a scientist and science journalist covering health, biology, ...

Understanding the expression and function of these genes is essential for unraveling the intricate mechanisms involved in cell cycle induction in cardiomyocytes. The cardiac regeneration laboratory ...

Regeneration of organs and systems is a scientific holy grail that relies on stem cells, but due to their limited number and ...

One reason that tonsils may grow back is that one of the operations to remove them is a partial tonsillectomy. Only removing ...

One specific aspect of our research is to determine precisely how mitochondrial activity and other bioenergetic pathways interface with cell cycle progression during development. Additionally, we aim ...

“Our discovery — the regulatory T cell recirculation back to the thymus — promotes repair through a process that hasn't been described before and represents a novel pathway to regeneration in the ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are typically derived from adult bone marrow and fat tissue and are currently being tested in hundreds of clinical trials. They secrete proteins and other molecules that, ...
