We were trying to learn how certain animals lost their regeneration capacity during evolution and then put back the ...

A better understanding of how these amphibians grow new appendages may lead to better wound healing—or even new limbs—in humans.

Scientists studying ability of mice to regenerate ear damage say therapies based on retinoic acid might work across various ...

This article critically reviews leading cosmeceutical ingredients, including niacinamide, retinoids, vitamin C, hyaluronic ...

Researchers compared rabbits and mice, reactivated a dormant gene, and triggered full tissue regrowth in a non-regenerating ...

“We discovered it’s essentially a single enzyme called CYP26b1, that regulates the amount of tissue that regenerates,” Monaghan says. CYP26b1 breaks down retinoic acid, so when the gene that makes the ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a genetic switch for organ regeneration exists, after restoring damaged outer ears in mice ...

A new study reveals the key lies not in the production of a regrowth molecule, but in that molecule's controlled destruction.

Research led by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing has discovered that switching on a single dormant ...

Retinoic acid is important in the development of human embryos too, telling the cells where to grow a head, heads and feet, Monaghan explained. But for an unknown reason, most of our cells lose ...

Could humans be capable of growing new limbs? Scientists are trying to figure that out with the aid of an unexpected resource: salamanders. Research shows that the amphibians' regeneration abilities ...
