Regenerating body parts might sound like science fiction, but certain animals do it with precision and consistency. Scientists study them closely to better understand the biology behind healing. These ...

Frogs that freeze themselves solid in the winter and thaw in the spring inspired methods to extend the storage time for ...

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.

For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have ...

When the human body gets hurt, most tissues heal—skin closes over a wound, bone heals itself. But not all organs heal that easily. The kidneys and the heart, for example, are not as willing to heal ...

Every day, people die waiting for an organ transplant. Time is at a premium, not just for those awaiting organs, but also for the organs themselves, which can deteriorate rapidly during transportation ...

Both scientific and policy advancements could provide desperately needed organs for transplantation. For example, there have been some promising early studies using kidneys from pigs genetically ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...
