A research team from MedUni Vienna and the FWF-sponsored Special Research Area SFB F83 Immunometabolism has now demonstrated for the primary time the central role of macrophages within the renewal of intestinal cells, which sheds light on the complex interplay between immune cells and tissue regeneration. Particularly, it could possibly be described that macrophages produce […]

University of Texas at Dallas scientists have discovered a previously unknown “housekeeping” process in kidney cells that ejects unwanted content, leading to cells that rejuvenate themselves and remain functioning and healthy. The self-renewal process, which is fundamentally different from how other bodily tissues are thought to regenerate, helps explain how, barring injury or disease, the […]
