Astonishingly, the ocean teems with brainless creatures that thrive using instinct and nerve networks. Jellyfish, sea sponges ...

The axolotl may look like a cute aquatic salamander with a perpetual smile, but beneath that friendly face lies some of the ...

The feathery gilled pink salamanders stop aging early and can regenerate their limbs. Studying them could be the next step in the journey to unlocking effective anti-aging treatments in humans.

In nature, survival often depends on adaptability, and some animals have taken this to a fascinating level by developing the ...

This content was created by our physicians and experts. The HSS Osseointegration Limb Replacement Center at Hospital for Special Surgery provides a major advance in amputation reconstruction surgery ...

In its simplest terms, cartilage repair (regeneration) surgery results in the formation of robust cartilage-like tissue around the joint where the cartilage has worn away or been damaged. Cartilage ...

The results of this study suggest that the lower limb movements that occur during obstacle crossing are controlled not only in the vertical direction but also in the mediolateral direction by ...

Regeneration of neural tissue is limited following spinal cord injury (SCI). Successful regeneration of injured nerves requires the intrinsic regenerative capability of the neurons and a suitable ...

Once regeneration begins, stem cells on the anterior (thumb) side of the limb express the signaling factor FGF8, while those on the posterior (pinky) side express the signaling factor Shh.

"But we need to now delve much more into that data to see if there's a subpopulation of activated neurons that is specific to the limb." Humans can regenerate parts of their bodies, but only ...

Axolotl limbs regenerate functional body parts in just weeks, relying on cells that retain positional memory. A study led by Elly Tanaka’s team at IMBA reveals that the Hand2 gene marks the posterior ...
