TTK21 treatment was found to have several benefits over the control treatment. Axon growth, regenerative signaling, and synaptic plasticity were all increased by gene activation.…
Wouldn’t it be amazing to generate a new limb or other body parts after an injury? Some lucky animals can! It would be wonderful if…
By tracing the steps of liver regrowth, MIT engineers hope to harness the liver’s regenerative abilities to help treat chronic disease. Hepatocytes, the one pictured…
Intermittent fasting may help heal nerve damage by changing the gut microbiome. Intermittent fasting alters the gut bacteria activity of mice and increases their ability…
A new treatment helped frogs regenerate their amputated legs – taking science one step closer to helping people regrow their body parts, too. Our bodies…
Frogs briefly treated with a five-drug cocktail administered by a wearable bioreactor on the stump were able to regrow a functional, nearly complete limb. For…
