Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

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 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 ...

Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...

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.

Many of us are resigned to the fact that we’ll naturally lose some of our hearing as we age, but there may be a way to slow that down. Scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA) have identified a ...

In the brain, alpha-synuclein is known for forming clumps called Lewy bodies, which damage brain cells and lead to diseases ...

As summer approaches and sun exposure increases, experts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are shedding light on what really happens to our skin when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ...
