Sentences with phrase «human regenerative capacity»

The study of the genetic and molecular pathways underlying regeneration in these species provides insight into the dormant molecular pathways for regeneration in humans, raising the prospect therapies can be developed to trigger human regenerative capacity.

Drs. King and Yin commented to OTW, «The long - term goal of our research at MDI Biological Laboratory is to understand how we may be able to enhance human regenerative capacity after injury.

Not exact matches

The mechanisms controlling this high regenerative capacity are the focus of a large field of research driven by the hope to some day apply the findings to human medicine.

MDI Biological Laboratory Associate Professor James A. Coffman, Ph.D., is studying the regenerative capacity of sea urchins in hopes that a deeper understanding of the process of regeneration, which governs the regeneration of aging tissues as well as lost or damaged body parts, will lead to a deeper understanding of the aging process in humans, with whom sea urchins share a close genetic relationship.

This valuable information could help scientists begin to explain why humans are less able to regenerate tissue and could also be used to improve the body's tissue regenerative capacity.

Humans do have some regenerative capacities — for example, regrowing fingertips if a sizable portion of the fingernail remains.

Despite the fact that humans share many genes with these organisms, our adult regenerative capacity is limited.

Despite humans sharing many of these genes within these organisms, our adult regenerative capacity is limited.

The course, which is a follow - up to the inaugural course held in 2015, will bring together students and leaders in the field from around the world to learn about the determinants of regenerative capacity, the causes of biological aging and strategies for applying what is learned to improve human health and advance regenerative medicine.

Despite Blomqvist et al.'s reservations, Footprint results show that: (1) most countries are in ecological deficit, increasingly dependent on potentially unreliable trade in biocapacity; (2) humanity is at or beyond global carrying capacity for key categories of consumption, particularly agriculture (factoring in soil loss and ecosystem degradation would reveal additional deficits); (3) global carbon waste sinks are overflowing; and (4) the aggregate metabolism of the human economy exceeds the regenerative capacity of the ecosphere (and the ratio is increasing).

On the global scale, when the footprint of consumption exceeds biocapacity, the interpretation is that humans are exceeding the regenerative capacity of Earth's ecosystems and therefore depleting stocks of natural capital, a state known as «overshoot» [19].
