Mammals aren’t known for the ocular regenerative powers, but a new study shows that nature has a few tricks up its sleeve.

What if the key to human limb regeneration wasn’t buried in sci-fi dreams—but already in your medicine cabinet? Scientists at Northeastern University have uncovered a breakthrough that’s raising ...

Can the heart physiology of zebrafish help treat human heart conditions? This is what a recent study published in Biology Open hopes to address as a team of researchers from the University of Utah ...

A team of scientists has mapped the regions surrounding stem cells in planarians—small flatworms that are famous for being able to regrow whole bodies from small fragments—and discovered something ...

A: Planarians are flatworms, and they’re masters of regeneration with virtually unlimited capacity to regenerate any missing tissue or body part lost to injury or aging. This amazing ability to ...

Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) have the incredible ability to regenerate limbs, and even entire organs. And of course, people want to know how we might get our own human bodies to do it, too. A team ...

Axolotls and flatworms regenerate lost body parts through body-wide coordination, not local repair. Scientists analysed that this theory of regeneration could reshape regenerative medicine.

A tiny worm that regenerates entire organs. A South American snail that can regrow its eyes. A killifish that suspends animation in dry weather... The tiny worm at the heart of regeneration science ...
