Studies of regenerative biology have been hampered by a lack of tools for testing gene function in traditional model species. Recent advances have overcome this problem, leading to new insights ...

The MDI Biological Laboratory has been awarded a $2.3 million, five-year grant from the NIH to support an innovative training ...

In a groundbreaking fusion of biology and technology, scientists have successfully 3D printed a tiny elephant inside a living ...

Why can one animal re-grow tissues and recover function after injury, while another animal (such as a human being) cannot? This is a central question of regenerative biology, a field that has ...

Losing a limb or an organ is life-altering for most creatures, but not for all. Some animals have evolved regeneration skills ...

Golden apple snails can regrow full, functional eyes. Studying their genes may reveal how to repair human eye injuries.

Neoblasts, a type of adult stem cell vital to planaria regeneration, arises in one particular embryonic development stage. Planaria are unique in that their neoblasts not only last beyond embryonic ...

Planarian Regeneration and Stem Cell Biology Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Planarian Regeneration and Stem Cell Biology.

The interplay between the circadian clock, intestinal stem cell niche, and epithelial cell fate is shaping our understanding of how gut homeostasis and cellular regeneration are regulated.

As the Semmes Foundation Distinguished Chair in Cell Biology, chair of the Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative ...

Mucus is a protective, slimy secretion produced by goblet cells and which lines organs of the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems. Slime production is essential to health, and an ...
