The central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the spinal cord and brain, is complex and needs to be better understood. To gain insight, a single cellular population, the microglial cells, are described in the healthy and...

BACKGROUND: Tendinopathy is common, presents with pain and activity limitation, and is associated with a high risk of recurrence of the injury. Tendinopathy usually occurs as a results of a disrupted healing response to a...

The healing process in humans and other mammals results in the formation of scar tissue as well as failure to regenerate nerves. In the case of a spinal cord injury (SCI), because the nerves do not regenerate, there is often...

This study investigates how age affects the microglial cell response in axolotl salamander tails by comparing the number of cells present before and after amputation, as well as between differently aged animals.

I argue that Gower uses metaphorical images common from vernacular romance--particularly the image of the rudderless ship--to help himself and his readers process the upheaval of the Great Rising. As a healing narrative, the...

This study investigated how age effects the regeneration process by viewing the spinal cord in sections of regenerated tails from axolotls of various ages and comparing them to sections of the original tail.

Skeletal muscle injuries commonly occur during exercise and are usually in the form of a contusion or strain. These mechanical stressors lead to damaged contractile components and thus decrease the magnitude of force that the...

Humans and other mammals cannot regrow lost limbs or damaged tissues the way some animals can. Specifically, salamanders and other amphibians have amazing regenerating abilities that could provide insight on how different or...
