The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to the brain. During development, all the specialized neurons in the ...

The authors highlight three potential regulators - galectin 1, galectin 3, and Myc - providing solid evidence for potential roles in modulating the proliferation of cochlear GER cells using gene ...

Bone repair depends on skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs) moving to injured areas and developing into bone-forming cells, but ...

A team of SAHMRI scientists has discovered a completely new type of cell that has the potential to enhance the future of tissue repair and generation. Dr. Sanuri Liyange, from the research team, says ...

A group of essential signaling molecules known as the Wnt pathway emerged early in the evolution of multicellular life. Scientists have been studying Wnt actions for four decades to comprehend its ...

New study reveals how collagen receptors beta1 integrin and DDR2 cooperate to control skeletal progenitor cells for enhanced bone regeneration and healing.

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis—the birth of new neurons—is now a widely ...

Scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the nephrons. NPCs hold immense promise for ...
