Changing one gene can restore some tissue regeneration to mice
SMRTR summary
Researchers in Beijing discovered a method to reactivate limited regeneration in mice by comparing wound healing in rabbit and mouse ears. They found that rabbits continued producing new tissue after 10-15 days, while mice stopped. The team activated an inactive regeneration gene in mice, potentially advancing regenerative medicine in mammals.
