A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to ...

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or ...

A study uncovers microautophagy's role in repairing damaged lysosomes, implicating STK38 and GABARAPs, offering insights into aging and potential therapeutic interventions.

Researchers have discovered a regulatory process that controls the maturation of brain cells. This regulation seems to be ...

The study of autophagy -- the recycling and repair process within cells -- has huge potential to aid in fighting the ageing process, bacterial and viral infections and diseases including cancer ...

Cells close wounds by re-shaping their endoplasmic reticulum, switching between crawling and contracting movements depending ...

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for ...

Scientists discover that human cells possess a built-in mechanism to revive from near-death states, enabling tissue ...

Researchers from Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and at the Swiss University of Fribourg have now found that the Schwann cells and axons may be behind this regeneration process.

Scientists have identified a new component of the molecular machinery a cell uses to repair damaged DNA. The discovery adds important knowledge about a fundamental life process that protects from ...
