Axonal regeneration and functional recovery are poor after spinal cord injury (SCI), typified
by the formation of an injury scar. While this scar was traditionally believed to be primarily …

Interest in vertebrate cardiac regeneration has exploded over the past two decades since
the discovery that adult zebrafish are capable of complete heart regeneration, contrasting …

Adult mammals are incapable of multitissue regeneration, and augmentation of this potential
may shift current therapeutic paradigms. We found that a common co-receptor of interleukin …

Regenerative potential is widespread but unevenly distributed across animals. However, our
understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying regenerative processes is limited to …

Ischemic heart disease and by extension myocardial infarction is the primary cause of death
worldwide, warranting regenerative therapies to restore heart function. Current models of …

In contrast to other mammals, the spiny mouse (Acomys) regenerates skin and ear tissue,
which includes hair follicles, glands, and cartilage, in a scar-free manner. Ear punch …

Osteoderms are bony plates found in the skin of vertebrates, mostly commonly in reptiles
where they have evolved independently multiple times, suggesting the presence of a gene …

Working in Africa provides neuroscientists with opportunities that are not available in other
continents. Populations in this region exhibit the greatest genetic diversity; they live in …

Tissue fibrosis represents a complex pathological condition characterized by the excessive
accumulation of collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) components, resulting in impaired …

Stroke is a major cause of disability for adults over 40 years of age. While research into
animal models has prioritized treatments aimed at diminishing post-stroke damage, no …
