Researchers at Umea University discovered how cells detect and repair damage in lysosomal membranes. Two autophagy protein ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how the cells that let us hear can repair themselves after being damaged. CHARLOTTESVILLE — University of Virginia School of ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...
