Myocardial Regeneration for Humans ― Modifying Biology and Manipulating Evolution ―
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide and developing novel therapies to treat and cure the disease remains a high priority in the healthcare research community. Adult stem cells were successful in entering numerous clinical trials over the past 15 years in attempts to regenerate the heart.

This pilot study investigates the potential of Generative AI to provide formative feedback to students. ChatGPT was prompted to provide feedback on Year 1 Bioscience essays, which were evaluated against established good feedback practices. GenAI‐authored feedback had useful elements, but was limited in scope. GenAI may have potential to provide instant,

Neuronal deletion of GSK3beta increases microtubule speed in the growth cone and enhances axon regeneration via CRMP-2 and independently of MAP1B and CLASP2 [PDF]
BackgroundIn the adult central nervous system, axonal regeneration is abortive. Regulators of microtubule dynamics have emerged as attractive targets to promote axonal growth following injury as microtubule organization is pivotal for growth cone ...

Neuroinflammation as Fuel for Axonal Regeneration in the Injured Vertebrate Central Nervous System
Damage to the central nervous system (CNS) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in elderly, as repair after lesions or neurodegenerative disease usually fails because of the limited capacity of CNS regeneration.

Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are critical for T cell development and self-tolerance but are gradually lost with age. The existence of thymic epithelial progenitors (TEPCs) in the postnatal thymus has been inferred, but their identity has remained ...

Review Article: Is Wnt Signaling an Attractive Target for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disease affecting millions of people worldwide and a leading cause of pain and disability. Increasing incidence of obesity and aging of the population are two factors that suggest that the impact of ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Ddx61-enriched condensates refine heart regeneration programs
Gene regulatory mechanisms that underlie tissue regeneration have been largely studied at the level of transcription. Here, proximity labeling methods identify increased presence of the RNA helicase and P-body marker Ddx61 in adult zebrafish ...

Flow Cytometry Characterization and Analysis of Glial and Immune Cells from the Spinal Cord
Several protocols have been developed with the aim of characterizing glial and immune cells from the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, a small number of these protocols have demonstrated the ability to yield satisfactory results following ...
