Development, immune response and wound healing all rely on the directed migration of cells. When cell migration goes awry, the effects can be very bad, indeed, ranging from tumor metastasis to ...

A new study shows that manipulation of these electric fields affects wound healing in vivo and identifies the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway as a key component of cell migration in ...

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...

To better understand how A. faecalis influences wound healing, the researchers used in vitro assays to investigate whether the bacterium promoted cell migration, a crucial process that occurs in the ...

In insects, YAP1 can provoke polyploidy in wound healing and then shut it down when unsuccessful. Losick said she discovered what is now the central focus of her research almost by accident. As a ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again.

Researchers unveiled a novel therapy for diabetic wound healing. This research ... in wound repair—by promoting cell health, proliferation, and migration. Demonstrating that exosomes enriched ...

As a result, an organism must quickly repair the barrier after a skin injury occurs. To gain further insights into this critical process, researchers have begun characterizing the wound healing ...

Using human breast milk may enhance the healing of the cornea -- the clear outer layer at the front of the eye, which helps ...

They found that exosomes, obtained from adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC-Exos), drastically improve the healing process of skin wounds in diabetic mice. This vital research sheds light on the ...

We model wound healing in several genetically tractable model organisms from ... wounds and so we use Drosophila and translucent zebrafish models to make movies of leukocyte migration into the wound ...

Wound healing, in which cells move to fill a gap ... A properly functioning cytoskeleton is needed for a wide variety of cellular events ranging from cell shape to cell signaling and ...
