UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA A new University of Virginia study proves that a damaged peripheral nervous system is capable of repairing itself – when healthy cells are recruited there from the central nervous system. The finding has implications for the future treatment of debilitating and life-threatening nervous system disorders affecting children, such as muscular dystrophy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease. The study will be published in the April 2 issue of the journal Cell Reports....

Skeletal stem cells regress when tasked with extensive regeneration
Adult mouse skeletal stem cells in the jaw revert to a more developmentally flexible state when called upon to regenerate large portions of bone and tissue, according to a study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The finding is the first to show that mammalian adult stem cells can march backward along...

MSU scientists unraveled the influence of aging on kidneys regeneration ability
LOMONOSOV MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY Autophagy is a process of destruction and processing of damaged cell components by the cells themselves. It is used by a cell to clean itself of excessive organelles and sometimes for self-execution. This adaptive mechanism supports a healthy phenotype on the cellular level. Autophagy is activated in certain cases of acute...
