By modifying 20 regions of the genome, scientists successfully bred mice with two male parents and raised them to maturity.

In a study published today in the journal Immunity, researchers describe how immune system cells recognize and eat dying ...

Understanding why newborns, but not adults, can regenerate the heart could lead to treatments that "reprogram" adult macrophages.

Researchers found that newborn immune cells regenerate heart tissue by producing thromboxane. Mimicking this process in ...

Newborn babies have a special ability to regenerate heart tissue after an injury, but adults do not. When adults have a heart ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but adults aren't so lucky. After a heart attack, most adults struggle to regenerate ...

The investigators also found that scarring was minimal in mice injured on their first day of life, but damage occurring after that, even just a day later, led to large fibrotic scars. “I thought this ...

In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that exposure of newborn mice to sublethal hyperoxia would alter lung development and expressions of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs)-3 and ...
