Using Natural Collagen Extracted from Squid as Tissue Scaffold for Growing Cells

Collagen is the basic protein that makes up the intercellular matrix, or in other words, the environment for the connective tissue cells of our body, such as tendons, bone, and cartilage.

Senescent Cells Use Cell-Cell Communication to Influence Regeneration in Salamanders

Senescent cells are cells that have permanently stopped dividing in response to cellular stress but have not died.

Cocklebur fruit shows potential to protect the skin and help enhance collagen production

The fruit of the cocklebur plant, which grows worldwide and is often considered a noxious weed, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components that could make it useful as a skin protectant, according to new research.

New kind of smart bandage for monitoring and treatment of chronic wounds

Most of the time, when someone gets a cut, scrape, burn, or other wound, the body takes care of itself and heals on its own.

Single mechanosensitive protein shown to contribute to fibrosis in multiple organs

Researchers from Kyushu University have found how a single mechanosensitive protein induces the process that thickens and scars tissue, known as fibrosis. The protein, called VGLL3, was shown to contribute to fibrosis in multiple organs.

Accumulation of collagen at injured sites in the gut stimulates cellular reprogramming, study reveals

Most cells have a pretty normal life: they're born, they grow, they get old, and they die. But the Benjamin Buttons of the cellular world can go from old to young again in the right context.

New spray can prevent infections and kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria

The World Health Organization ranks antibiotic resistance as one of the top ten threats to global health. There is therefore a great need for new solutions to tackle resistant bacteria and reduce the use of antibiotics.

The potential of cellular “glue” in regenerative medicine

Scientists at UC San Francisco have created molecules that function as “cellular glue,” enabling them to precisely control how cells adhere to one another. The discovery is a significant step toward regenerative medicine’s long-term goal of creating new tissues and organs.

Stress hormones produced by salmon could be leading to increased infections

Fish farming is a crucial industry in Norway, and salmon is by far the most important species. So it's alarming that bacterial diseases are on the rise at the massive sea farms where salmon are raised.

Spatial transcriptomic data highlights the features of the axolotl brain

The first spatiotemporal cellular atlas of axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) brain growth and regeneration, created by a multi-institute research team under the direction of BGI-Research, reveals how brain damage may recover itself.

8 Sep 2022

Using human saliva to treat infections that are resistant to antibiotics

Tens of millions of individuals throughout the world suffer from antibiotic resistance every year. The CDC reports that more than 35,000 people die each year as a result of more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections that take place there each year.
