Scientists pinpoint tissue-regenerating cells, offering hope for Cancer and burn victims

Tel Aviv [Israel], January 18 (ANI/TPS): For the first time, scientists have identified the specific cells that allow severely damaged tissue to regenerate after widespread destruction, a discovery that could change how cancer relapse is prevented, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science told The Press Service of Israel.
Their study, recently published in the peer-reviewed Nature Communications, focuses on a phenomenon known for decades as “compensatory proliferation” — the ability of tissue to regrow after radiation wipes out large numbers of cells. The effect was first observed in the…
