by Forsyth Institute Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public DomainA team of researchers from the ADA Forsyth Institute and University of North Carolina (UNC), Chapel Hill used single-cell transcriptomic analysis to successfully map dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC) and found remarkable differences between them. The study, which appears in the Journal of Dental...
by Cait Cullen, IOP Publishing In situ bioprinting could allow for the direct synthesis of personalized tissues and organs within the body, potentially paving the future of regenerative medicine and organ transplantation. Credit: Pagan et al. In situ bioprinting, which involves 3D printing biocompatible structures and tissues directly within the body, has seen steady progress over...

Mar 29, 2023 – Sanford Burnham Prebys researchers have identified a group of proteins that could be the secret to cellular reprogramming, an emerging approach in regenerative medicine in which scientists transform cells to repair damaged or injured body tissues. The researchers...
by Susan Buckles, Mayo Clinic Credit: Mayo Clinic Applying regenerative medicine to a common shoulder surgery could have an impact on the need for follow-up revision surgery in some patients, according to a Mayo Clinic study of real-world evidence. Mayo Clinic researchers analyzed the largest set of data available to determine if adding bone marrow...

by New York University Credit: CC0 Public Domain NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) researchers have uncovered a code that sets the genome of the liver to account for the remarkable ability of this organ to regenerate. This finding offers new insight into how the specific genes that promote regeneration can be activated when part of the liver...
The findings on cellular communication hold promise for early human development, disease progression, and aging, as well as organ transplantation and for testing therapeutics. The ability to grow the cells of one species within an organism of a different species offers scientists a powerful tool for research and medicine. It’s an approach that could advance...
