Scientists Uncover Molecular "Death-Defying" Mechanism That Drives Tissue Regeneration and Cancer Recurrence

The human body possesses an almost miraculous capacity for self-repair. When the skin is sliced or the epithelial linings of internal organs are damaged by trauma or disease, a complex biological symphony begins, working to restore the integrity of the tissue. For decades, scientists have observed this phenomenon, known as compensatory proliferation, where a burst […]
