“This confirmation by our talented team of researchers demonstrates that fibroblasts can support the regeneration of myelin sheath, marking a potentially significant step in the utilization of a ...

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not ...

Collagen is a structural protein found in tissues in skin, hair, nails, cartilage, bones, and tendons. By working with other substances, such as elastin and hyaluronic acid, collagen helps maintain ...

Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers have investigated collagen formation in the 'glass-skinned' amphibian axolotl and other vertebrates.

Axolotl is an animal model widely used in dermatology research due to its transparent ‘glass skin.’ A study by researchers from Okayama University, Japan, discovered that healthy collagen ...

The most common primary malignancy of the liver, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a heterogeneous tumor entity with high metastatic potential and complex pathophysiology. Increasing evidence ...

Introduction: Periodontitis leads to the degradation of tooth-supporting tissues, ultimately causing tooth mobility and loss. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) surgery employs barrier membranes to ...

Skin aging shows an imbalance between synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix. The overproduction of degradative enzymes (MMPs) during the chronologyand photo-induced aging leads to a ...

Human nucleus schematic (middle) shows nuclear speckles (NS, green), nucleolus (orange), and nuclear lamina (NL, purple). (A) Changes in the transcriptional activity of genes (pink to purple gradient) ...
