Scientists Discover Stem Cells with Regenerative Potential in Deer Antlers

Deer antlers have long captivated researchers due to their annual regrowth, providing an intriguing model for studying organ regeneration in mammals. Now, a team of researchers has created a single-cell atlas of antler regrowth, providing new insights into the cellular mechanisms responsible for rapid antler elongation. Scientists published a study in Science that identified the earliest antler initiators as mesenchymal cells that expressed PRRX1, along … Continue reading Scientists Discover Stem Cells with Regenerative Potential in Deer Antlers
