August 2023 in “Genome research” This study found that in spiny mice, the proximal side of ear wounds is crucial for regeneration, a process possibly linked to unique injury-induced immune responses compared to nonregenerative rodents.
January 2025 in “Regenerative Biomaterials” In this study, a new pH-responsive hydrogel composed of polyvinyl alcohol and boric acid was found to release salvianolic acid B effectively, reducing excessive scar formation and enhancing tissue regeneration during early-stage wound healing.

November 2020 in “Nature Materials” This study found that D-peptide crosslinked MAP hydrogel accelerated material degradation in vivo but significantly enhanced skin regeneration, suggesting an adaptive immune response can drive regenerative healing even with rapid scaffold breakdown.
November 2025 in “Biocell” This article explores how the integrated stress response and senescence-associated secretory phenotype influence stem cell fate decisions, highlighting their dual roles in both protecting and disrupting stem cell integrity.
