Scientists at the National Cancer Institute and partnering institutions have discovered that Schmidtea polychroa, a flatworm capable of regenerating lost tissue, develops this ability progressively ...

Why are so few species able to regenerate damaged or missing body parts, even though regeneration might seem an obvious survival advantage? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for ...

The human body is composed of over 37 trillion cells, each with a limited lifespan. These cells are continuously replaced to maintain organ and system function. Yet over time, or as a result of damage ...

A West Virginia University biologist is studying why some animals can regenerate while others cannot and has identified the genes that play a role in the process. Christopher Arnold, assistant ...

The ability of metazoans (multicellular animals) to regenerate lost body parts varies greatly. Some animals can regenerate their whole bodies, including phyla Cnidaria such as jellyfish, ...

A mouse injured on one leg experiences an “awakening” of stem cells in the other leg as if the cells are preparing to heal an injury. Something similar happens in axolotls, which are masters at limb ...

The ability to regenerate -- from individual cell types to entire organs or complex tissues -- is of crucial importance for all living species. The human body also regenerates, in short, dead cells ...

Regenerate your body with good nutrition, clean water, exercise, the right supplements designed specifically for what you need, good sleep and fresh air. The human body is an extraordinary system of ...

An image of a planaria, a flatworm that can regenerate its entire body, under a fluorescent microscope. WVU research, led by biologist Chris Arnold, is looking at genes that lay the framework for ...
