Diari de Girona has published a column on a new mechanism involved in tissue regeneration, discovered recently. The study, published in PLOS Genetics, was conducted by the Department of Genetics at the University of Barcelona in collaboration with the group led by Marco Milán, ICREA researcher and leader of the Development and Growth Control Laboratory group at IRB Barcelona. This new mechanism is a significant advance in understanding how tissue regeneration works, and indicates that antioxidants may have a negative effect during the early stages of this process.
