Oxytocin, a hormone connected with bonding and love, could help to heal damage following a heart attack. Researchers found oxytocin stimulates stem cells from the heart's outer layer and migrates into the middle layer where it develops into muscle cells that generate heart contractions. This could be used to promote the regeneration of heart cells following a heart attack.
Researchers have developed a 3D printed guide that helps regrow neurons and restore both sensory and motor function following complex nerve injury.
Dentate gyrus neurogenesis acts to replace lost neurons and restore function following massive neuron loss.
The carnage evident in disasters like car wrecks or wartime battles is oftentimes mirrored within the bodies of the people...
A new study reveals reverting neurons to an early growth state can help reconnect severed spinal cord nerves in rodent models of SCI.
Researchers use electrical pulses delivered from cochlear implants to deliver gene therapy and regrow auditory neurons.
Researchers restore significant bladder function, through nerve regeneration, in rats with severe spinal cord injuries.
Enhancing mitochondrial transportation and cellular energetics could help promote regeneration and function following spinal cord injury.
Study reveals the brain plays an active role in muscle and nerve development than previously thought.
Researchers engineered cells containing customized adhesion molecules that bind to specific cell partners in predictable ways to form complex multicellular entities. The discovery is a major step toward building new tissue and organs.
Researchers have identified how neural stem cells remain relatively free of age related damage.
Researchers have discovered that, following nerve damage, peripheral glial cells produce the growth factor neuregulin1, which assists in the regeneration of damaged nerves.
