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 ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. As our bodies grow and develop, cells naturally die off where they are ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Now, researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, unfolds over time.

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 ...

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, ...

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