Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

Chronic wounds, particularly those in diabetic patients, present major therapeutic challenges due to impaired tissue regeneration and extracellular matrix (ECM) dysregulation. This study explores how ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet maps the cellular and molecular dynamics of human wound healing in exceptional detail. The study was published in Cell Stem Cell. Self-healing of wounds is vital ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds—with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals.

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury and infections. It promotes healing through immune cell activation to target bacteria and other infections, but also allows for tissue repair.

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

Understanding how wounds heal after injury could be a step closer thanks to a new mathematical model developed by researchers at the University of Bristol. The study, published in Physical Review ...

Diabetes affects more than 40 million people in the United States, according to the American Diabetes Association. For many, the chronic condition means a lifetime of pain as worsening circulation ...
