A research group led by Professor Cecilia Sahlgren at Åbo Akademi University (Finland) and the InFLAMES Research Flagship has identified a new ...

Hypertrophic scarring affects a large proportion of patients following burns, trauma, or surgery and arises from prolonged fibroblast hyperactivity and excessive extracellular matrix accumulation.

Growing from a single cell into a complex organism with specialized tissues and organs requires a complex and coordinated process. But the mechanical signals that guide tissue and organ ...

Within contemporary molecular biology, the regulation of tissue growth has emerged as a central theme linking developmental signaling, metabolic balance, and structural adaptation. Among the molecular ...

RIT biomedical engineering researchers identify a protein that can reduce fibrosis and slow disease progression.

Christopher H. Contag explores how tissue regeneration involves organized interactions beyond just cell replacement, highlighting two emerging technologies ...

Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages involved in immune responses accelerate the progression of melanoma through the extracellular vesicles they secrete, a recent study from the University of Eastern ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School have identified a molecular switch controlled by the protein GATA6 that determines whether pancreatic cancer cells respond to chemotherapy or become resistant.
