... Abstract The potential for regeneration of pancreatic tissue in the adult human has generallybeen regarded as minimal. However, in chronic pancreatitis, isolated lobuli are frequentlyseen in fibrosis. These isolated lobuli have nodular architecture and bear resemblance toregenerative nodules...

... Abstract The ability of animal salivary glands to recover from an experimentally-induced atrophic state offers hope that human salivary glands may be regenerated following injury. Examination of the mechanisms of regeneration in animal models has revealed processes which resemble the embryonic...

... pole of the Bowman’s capsule in adult kidneys. The discovery of renal progenitors that encourage regeneration and promote functional repair of glomerular injury demonstrates that prevention and treatment of glomerulosclerosis may be possible. In addition, converging evidence suggests that the outcome...

... of multiple tissue types, especially in very large periodontal defects. With the global aging population, it is extremely important to find novel biomaterials, particularly bioactive membranes and/or scaffolds, for guided tissue (GTR) and bone regeneration (GBR) to aid in the reestablishment of the health...

..., and the emerging field of research suggesting that nerves play an instructive role during development and may be essential for adult gland repair and regeneration. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in gland biogenesis provides a template for regenerating, repairing or reengineering diseased...

... of disease models of retinal degeneration but also in the manufacture of a replacement for the neural retinal tissue. This review summarizes the major advancements in the last decade in the field of neural retinal regeneration with an emphasis on the differentiation of embryonic and induced pluripotent stem...

... [ 23 ]. In addition to PB, purified VSELs can be isolated from BM. With the notion being that VSELs are epiblast-derived stem cells deposited early in embryonic development, these stem cells may present as a good candidate for tissue rejuvenation and regeneration. The ease of harvesting should also...

... Abstract Embryonic-maternal signaling is vital to implantation. We have identified a cellularprotein that indirectly regulates secretion of IL-1Β, a proinflammatory cytokine that isinvolved in this signaling process. Regeneration and tolerance factor is a V-ATPase proteinthat regulates ATP...
