January 2023 in “International Journal of Biological Sciences” This study suggests that CTHRC1, a protein expressed in cardiac fibroblasts, may improve wound repair and prevent cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction by activating a specific signaling pathway.
September 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that enteroendocrine cells play a key role in coordinating stem cell migration towards wounds in the Drosophila intestinal epithelium, aiding tissue repair through non-canonical Wnt signaling.
