Although often glossed over, the human liver is a pretty amazing organ. Not just because it’s pretty much the sole thing that ...

The molecular secretions of stem cells taken from human gum tissue could someday be used to speed the healing and regeneration of damaged tissues in the mouth, according to a preclinical study from ...

Scientists discover zebrafish hair cells can regenerate without cell division, challenging decades of textbook biology and ...

The idea that the human body completely regenerates itself every seven years is a widely shared “fact.” But how much truth is there to this claim? While the body is constantly renewing itself, the ...

In both mice and humans, fingertips can regrow if the cut is in the right spot. This isn’t just a patch job—it’s full regeneration. The bone doesn’t bridge the gap like in a fracture.

Zebrafish have the rare ability to regenerate their heart muscle after major damage, unlike humans. Researchers have now discovered the gene circuit that accomplishes this — an embryonic circuit that ...

Zebrafish hair cells regrow via cyclin gene activity in specific cells, offering clues to future hearing restoration in humans.

Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) have the incredible ability to regenerate limbs, and even entire organs. And of course, people want to know how we might get our own human bodies to do it, too. A team ...

They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in heart regeneration in zebrafish. In mice, this protein was able to restore the heart by activating dormant repair genes without causing ...

The road to human regeneration is long and complex, but with each discovery, the path becomes clearer. (CREDIT: iStock Photos) Surgeons have found ways to push the body to heal.
