Regenerative Medicine

Researchers successfully boosted the regeneration of mature nerve cells in the spinal cords of adult mammals -- an achievement that could one day translate into improved therapies for patients with spinal cord injuries.

Scientists of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) have succeeded in releasing a molecular brake that prevents the regeneration of nerve connections.

75 percent of patients with alopecia areata experienced an average hair regrowth of 92 percent with ruxolitinib, according to a study.

Incredibly, Kris Boesen, who was paralyzed from his neck to his toes after a car accident, is regaining movement after receiving a stem cell injection into his spine.

Can Humans Regrow Limbs? Researchers Think So
Forget prosthetics. Researchers from Duke University want to awaken the genetic elements associated with limb regrowth, a trait found in many creatures, notably starfish.
