Working out doesn't just build muscle but, in later life, helps maintain a powerful cellular machine that repairs damaged ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

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 ...

When tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have ...

A class of proteins that regulates cell repair and enhances cell growth-signaling systems could be a promising new target for the treatment of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, ...

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 ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that targeting a specific immune process ...
