Earlier wound healing studies describe the dynamic cell behaviours that contribute to wound re...

Future studies should elucidate how pericytes and PDLCs repair tissues by interacting with immune cells at each stage of wound healing.

The meeting covered a wide range of regeneration models and tissues, identification of regulatory genes and signals, and striking advances toward regenerative therapies. Here, we report some of the exciting topics discussed during this conference...

The activation of Dronc also regulates myosin levels and delays wound healing. Our findings suggest a possible function for non-apoptotic caspase...
