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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
