After single injection, paralyzed animals regained ability to walk within four weeks. Northwestern University researchers have developed a new injectable therapy that harnesses “dancing molecules” to reverse paralysis and repair tissue after severe spinal cord injuries. In a new study, researchers a...

Researchers invented a technique that combines bioprinting with cryopreservation to construct frozen, cell-laden structures that can be used in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug discovery. A new technique takes bioprinting — in which an ink of cells is printed, layer by layer, to f...

MIT spinout Frequency Therapeutics’ drug candidate stimulates the growth of hair cells in the inner ear. Frequency Therapeutics, a biotechnology company, is working to repair hearing loss using a novel kind of regenerative treatment rather than hearing aids or implants. The company programs progenit...

Tissue Model Reveals Key Players in Liver Regeneration By tracing the steps of liver regrowth, MIT engineers are striving to harness the liver’s regenerative abilities to help treat chronic disease. The human liver has incredible regeneration capabilities: Even if up to 70% of it is removed, the rem...

Synthetic Molecules that Adhere Cells Could Galvanize Regenerative Medicine Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have engineered molecules that act like “cellular glue,” allowing them to direct in precise fashion how cells bond with each other. The discovery represents a ...

A More Effective Experimental Design for Engineering a Cell Into a New State MIT and Harvard researchers have developed a novel computational technique that can efficiently identify optimal genetic interventions in cellular reprogramming using fewer experiments. Their unique approach capitalizes on ...

Japanese scientists have uncovered that Cladonema jellyfish regenerate tentacles using stem-like proliferative cells, offering new insights into the blastema formation process and its evolutionary parallels in other species like salamanders. At about the size of a pinkie nail, the jellyfish species ...

Blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus), a member of the Asteraceae family, thrives in our climate. This plant has been utilized for centuries as a medicinal herb, often consumed as an extract or tea to support the digestive system. Recently, researchers at the Center for Pharmacology of University Hosp...

Genes from regenerative organisms rejuvenate intestinal stem cells in fruit flies. In a groundbreaking experiment, Japanese researchers transferred regenerative genes to fruit flies, leading to improved intestinal health and enhanced stem cell activity. This discovery opens new possibilities for ant...

Scientists created a stem cell-based method to produce high-quality mitochondria at scale, enabling effective treatments for osteoarthritis and other diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Scientists have developed a groundbreaking method to mass-produce high-quality human mitochondria, a bre...
