A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' ...

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

Building muscle depends on several factors and isn't something that'll happen overnight after just one workout.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
