News Release 19-Sep-2024 Peer-Reviewed PublicationThe Hebrew University of Jerusalem A new study reveals that reprogramming specialized cells to become different types of cells, a key process in regenerative medicine, faces a major hurdle. The challenge lies in the DNA methylation patterns of the cells, which are like cellular “memory” markers. This study reveals that these...

Molecular targets of microRNAs during liver regeneration after acute injury: Recent advances
News Release 29-Jul-2024 Peer-Reviewed PublicationXia & He Publishing Inc. image: Upregulation of miR21 during APAP hepatotoxicity inhibits hepatocyte proliferation by downregulating the β-catenin signaling pathway. Additionally, miR21 overexpression affects liver repair by inducing changes in gene expression, leading to the downregulation of autophagy and haemostasis. APAP, acetaminophen. The liver, a vital organ involved in numerous...

New study shows ‘dancing molecules’ can regenerate cartilage in 3 days
by Amanda Morris, Northwestern University Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. Credit: Stupp Research Group/Northwestern UniversityIn November 2021, Northwestern University researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules,” to repair tissues and reverse paralysis...
