By manipulating the signaling pathway involved in cell growth, the researchers knocked out an ... and brain in mice with optic nerve damage. “Until now, such robust nerve regeneration has ...

They hypothesized that NOD2 could potentially be suppressing thymic regeneration factors and set out to further understand this effect in NOD2 knock-out mouse models. Indeed, in a NOD2 depleted ...

As it turned out, p21 knockout mice had already been created ... highlighting a correlation between stem cells, tissue regeneration, and the cell cycle." The study was supported by grants from ...

Muscle cells did not diminish in mice lacking a protective antioxidant ... whether limiting oxidative stress can effect muscle regeneration, Dr. Van Remmen said.

A new study suggests that stem cells thought to be dormant may offer clues to why our sense of smell declines or is lost.

This means that the PTEN knockout prevents CRMP2 from being inhibited by GSK3. "If we directly prevent this second step, i.e., stop the inhibition of CRMP2, we can also achieve the regeneration ...

They describe the use of this approach in the article "A PCR-Based Method to Genotype Mice Knocked Out for All Four CD3 Subunits, the Standard Recipient Strain for Retrogenic TCR/CD3 Bone Marrow ...

But chronic damage in conditions such as alcohol abuse, fatty liver disease and certain viral infections, leads to impaired regeneration and cirrhosis (scarring), with eventual loss of liver function.

(CBS News) An African mouse with skin regeneration properties may hold the key to scar-free procedures for humans. The African spiny mouse is known for its ability to allow its skin to rip off its ...
