Mammals aren’t exactly known for their limb-regenerating abilities, but some of them, including humans, have the ability to ...

For in vitro cellular assays, the extracellular matrix—the material between cells—often is overlooked, but changes within this microenvironment affect cells’ proliferation and differentiation and, ...

In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers led by Profs. DAI Jianwu and ZHAO Yannan from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have ...

Growing from a single cell into a complex organism with specialized tissues and organs requires a complex and coordinated process. But the mechanical signals that guide tissue and organ ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...

Researcher Marley Dewey, an assistant professor of bioengineering at UC Santa Barbara, has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research award to support her work on recently discovered ...

Stanford University researchers have shown that fingertip regeneration in mammals depends on a soft, hyaluronic acid-rich extracellular matrix rather than stiff, collagen-heavy tissue. In mouse models ...
