New research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has unveiled a critical timing factor—specifically how long cells actively respond to injury.

By analyzing tissue dynamics during regrowth, the length of time cells spend engaged in the repair process is also key.

The findings are a step toward closing the gap on how we could one day deploy regenerative medicine in humans.

Regenerative therapies could restore function that was compromised during illness or following injury.
