Natural extracellular matrices (ECMs) perform the tasks necessary for tissue formation, maintenance, regulation and function, providing a powerful means of controlling the biological performance of regenerative materials. ...

Abstract Background The efficient regenerative abilities at larvae stages followed by a non-regenerative response after metamorphosis in froglets makes Xenopus an ideal ...

In coastal systems, benthic microalgae are important primary producers that significantly contribute to global primary production. Microphytobenthic (MPB) community structure and the ecosystem functions that it mediates ...

Tissue regeneration capabilities vary significantly throughout an organism’s lifespan. For example, mammals can fully regenerate until they reach specific developmental stages, after which they can only repair the tissue ...

In many animals, regenerative processes can replace lost body parts. Organ and tissue regeneration consequently also hold great medical promise. The regulation of regenerative processes is achieved through concerted actions ...

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), glycoproteins secreted by some cells, are members of the TGF-β superfamily that have been implicated in a wide variety of roles. Currently, about 20 different BMPs have been identified ...

This study provides the first observation that umbrellar tissue can lead to the formation of virtually all body structures in jellyfish of the order Rhizostomeae. The regeneration process was observed in two specimens of ...

Industry 4.0 and its underlying technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), are usually portrayed as a way to enable communication in a workshop between the machinery and an intelligent ...
