Study explores how macrophages regulate regenerative healing in spiny mice

A team of researchers at the University of Kentucky and Cincinnati Children's Hospital is delving deeper into the science behind how spiny mice can regenerate lost tissue. They are using what they learn to trigger regeneration in other types of mice—advances that one day may be translated into humans.
