Scientists at the National Cancer Institute and partnering institutions have discovered that Schmidtea polychroa, a flatworm capable of regenerating lost tissue, develops this ability progressively during early life stages. ...
Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from diagnosing contamination ...
While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric fields in their environment.
The hypothalamus is a small but critical region at the base of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, regulates body temperature, signals hunger and thirst, exerts hormonal control over the pituitary gland, ...
As you age you naturally lose neurons and muscle mass and experience a decline in fertility and wound healing ability. Previous research in animals has offered several potential techniques for turning back the biological ...
