A protein that helps make neurons also works to reprogram scar tissue cells into heart muscle cells, according to a new study.

Ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive window into the body’s workings, providing clinicians with live images of a patient’s organs

A protein that helps make neurons also works to reprogram scar tissue cells into heart muscle, and could play a role in future medicines.

To make new cells, we have to divide existing ones. This is a continuous, frequent and ubiquitous process which starts at conception.

The green Mediterranean diet (MED) significantly reduces visceral adipose tissue, a type of dangerous fat around internal organs.

The study provides evidence that this adipose tissue-brain-liver axis is opening up new approaches for treating metabolic diseases.

A protein that helps make neurons also works to reprogram scar tissue cells into heart muscle cells, UNC School of Medicine study finds.

Human skin repairs itself slowly, via the formation of contractile scars which may cause dysfunction.

Sepsis is difficult to diagnose and causes an estimated 20% of deaths globally and as many as 20 to 50% of U.S. hospital deaths each year.

Wound healing is a major problem for many older individuals and chronic, non-healing skin ulcers are a major source of health care costs.

A new design by MIT engineers might make the ultrasound technology as wearable and accessible as buying Band-Aids at the pharmacy.

The researchers restored blood circulation and other cellular functions in pigs a full hour after their deaths.

Heart disease — the leading cause of death in the U.S. — is so deadly in part because the heart, unlike other organs, cannot repair itself.

Researchers are challenging centuries-old beliefs about the fundamental science related to how mammals might regenerate damaged body parts.

Scientists have taken the first step towards improved storage of human cells, leading to the safe storage of organs such as hearts and lungs

Scientists report that a form of cellulose obtained from plants can be added to the tasty treat to stop crystals cold.

Researchers have proven that it’s possible to convert the blood type of an organ, creating a universal organ that would avoid rejection.
