In Lila Guterman’s article “Hope Grows for Replacing Lost Limbs and Outworn Organs” (January 31), Ronald D.G. McKay is quoted as saying that for regeneration biology to contribute to medicine, “we ...

Vetirus Animal Health, a global healthcare company, has been advancing the standard of care for companion animals through ...

Losing a limb or an organ is life-altering for most creatures, but not for all. Some animals have evolved regeneration skills that go far beyond healing scrapes or broken bones. These species can ...

Injuries are a part of life. When humans get hurt, our wounds heal, but scars remain and lost body parts never return. In the animal world, things can be very different. Some animals can grow back ...

For those of us whose memory of high school biology hasn’t faded entirely, planarians will probably sound very familiar. They’re generally used as an example of one of the extreme ends of regenerative ...

When humans lose a limb due to an injury, there are lifelong lifestyle changes that are necessary to accommodate the loss of the arm or leg. In some instances, the changes are minor, with people ...

Insights into healing and aging were discovered by National Institutes of Health researchers and their collaborators, who studied how a tiny sea creature regenerates an entire new body from only its ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

Bone regeneration research utilises animal models to evaluate the efficacy of biomaterials, cellular therapies and surgical techniques under physiologically relevant conditions. Such models range from ...

A wide variety of distantly-related animals, including flatworms, newts and zebrafish, have robust abilities to regenerate damaged or missing body parts. A new study shows little evidence of a common ...
