Recently, Professor Yuval Rinkevich from Chinese Institutes for Medical Research (CIMR), Beijing and Capital Medical University published a review titled "From fragment to form: whole-body regeneration in a model urochordate" in the journal NPJ Regenerative Medicine.
Yuval Rinkevich
Distinguished Investigator and Director, Chinese Institute for Regenerative Biology and Medicine, Chinese Institutes for Medical Research, Beijing, China. Chair Professor, Capital Medical University, China.
The lab of Dr. Rinkevich explores the stem cells, embryonic lineages and molecular basis of tissue repair and regeneration as foundation for therapeutic use. Research direction includes discovery of fibroblast lineages in the transition from scarless healing to scar forming tissue responses. His latest work describing the fascia connective tissue, and its mobilization in injury repair in multiple organ systems is reinventing the way we look at tissue repair and regeneration, opening a new biological context to treat and resolve fibrotic diseases.
