The process of aging, and how to stop it, has long puzzled scientists. However, in a new study, published in the journal EMBO Reports, researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University in ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

Why do diabetic wounds refuse to heal? A new scientific review highlights how disruptions in the timing and behavior of ...

The mechanism for muscle stem cells repair could inspire therapeutics for muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications.

A recent study published in EMBO Reports by researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University sheds light on a fundamental process within cells-microautophagy-that plays a crucial role in ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how the cells that let us hear can repair themselves after being damaged. That important insight could benefit efforts to develop ...
