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

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

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help ...

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

A class of proteins that regulates cell repair and enhances cell growth-signaling systems could be a promising new target for the treatment of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, ...

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.

Salk researchers report they have discovered a protein called Mitf that mediates the repair function in the peripheral nervous systems of mice. The protein Mitf helps turn on the repair function of ...
