Cellular recycling system of autophagy likely to help in wound repair

In the fruit fly Drosophila, a team led by Maria Leptin discovered that autophagy, a stress response process in cells, plays a significant role in wound repair.

P53 protein induces leader cell behavior, migration and clearance during epithelial tissue repair

New research led by the University of Bristol has found the protein p53 plays a key role in epithelial migration and tissue repair.

Tropical sea anemone stings could hold key to new pain-relieving drugs

QUT PhD researcher Lauren Ashwood has studied sea anemones' venom makeup extensively, in particular, Telmatactis stephensoni a reef-based sea anemone that can grow from 8 to 10 cm.

Researchers map the cellular landscape in diabetic foot ulcers

Diabetic foot ulcerations – open sores or wounds that refuse to heal – are a devastating complication affecting more than 15 percent of people with diabetes and resulting in more than 70,000 lower extremity amputations per year in the United States alone.

CAR T cells produced in vivo using modified mRNA treat cardiac injury

A new study by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania shows that experimental immunotherapy can temporarily reprogram the immune cells of patients.

NRL scientists apply new methods to analyze cell behavior

Naval Research Laboratory researchers in the Chemistry Division apply their knowledge of biology in conjunction with materials to improve understanding of how cells and tissues organize and apply new methods to affect cell communication.

Researchers identify protein that promotes wound healing and repair

Recent research discovered a protein known as Agrin that is known to promote wound healing and repair when induced after the injury of skin tissue.

Researchers develop new technique to print tri-layered skin equivalents

Chronic wounds are deep and difficult to repair. Often, the top of the injury heals before the bottom, so the wound collapses in on itself. Over time, this can result in scar tissue and reduced skin function.

Researchers develop a new way of simulating cell mechanics

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington are working to create a simulation technique that better predicts how stem cells develop into specific cells, such as bone or skin.

Tough protein connects directly with neurons to cause damaging inflammatory reaction in the brain

Neuroinflammatory diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury, have been linked to deposits of a tough protein known as fibrin, derived from the blood clotting factor fibrinogen.

Cancer cells change their shape and migration modes more often, says research

Recent research from the Oregon State University shows how malignant cells change their shape and migration techniques to attack various tissues.

Genetic markers linked to increased lipopolysaccharide level in blood discovered

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial component, is a toxin and its increased concentrations in the blood induce sepsis.

Skin regeneration after an injury may be linked with motility of skin stem cells

Although sometimes hard to accept, with aging, many things in our bodies change. One of these is the ability of the skin to regenerate. Old skin is just not as good as young skin at healing wounds. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this are largely unknown.

Virginia Tech scientists receive $1 million grant to predict the mechanics of living cells

With advances in deep learning, machines are now able to "predict" a variety of aspects about life, including the way people interact on online platforms or the way they behave in physical environments.

New gel enhances immunotherapy's effectiveness in glioblastoma

Pairing a newly developed gel with immunotherapy that was delivered to post-surgical mouse brains with glioblastoma, a highly malignant and deadly cancer, improved the immunotherapy's effectiveness, report researchers from the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues.
