A crowdfunded nonprofit called Foregen is developing a way to reverse circumcision using tissue engineering and a patient's own stem cells. Human clinical trials could begin soon after 15 years of research and development.
Researchers at UT San Antonio discovered a 50:50 blend of two natural proteins that helps bone and blood vessels grow together after severe injuries. The breakthrough could transform treatment for trauma patients who lose significant tissue.
Scientists created tiny uterus models that can menstruate and regenerate, revealing how the body heals without scars. The breakthrough could transform how we treat wounds and tissue damage.
Scientists in France successfully rebuilt human cartilage in the lab using decellularized apples as scaffolding. This breakthrough could transform how doctors repair damaged joints, noses, and ears while reducing the need for donor tissue.
University of Wisconsin researchers found that cells can create "negative viscosity," essentially fueling their own movement by adding energy instead of losing it. This breakthrough could transform how we heal wounds and grow new tissues.
Swedish researchers have created a universal cartilage graft that helps bones heal themselves without triggering immune rejection. The breakthrough could help over two million people worldwide who need bone transplants each year.
