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 ...

Scientists at UCSF identified a key cellular switch that plays a large role in pulmonary fibrosis, and found a way of blocking it to halt progression of the disease.

One of the biggest challenges in cancer treatment is chemoresistance: Tumors that initially respond well to chemotherapy ...

Researchers found that losing a second protein, FIGNL1, allows cancer cells missing BRCA2 to restore DNA repair by reloading ...

Clinical trials for a laser treatment targeting this common eye disease will begin in Finland next spring, and researchers hope it could become available to patients within three years. About one in ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

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

By electrically stimulating macrophages, scientists at Trinity College Dublin have found a way to calm inflammation and ...

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 ...

Faulty DNA damage repair can lead to many types of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and other serious disorders. Investigators have developed high-throughput microscopy and machine learning systems ...

When it comes to treating disease, one promising avenue is addressing the presence of senescent cells. These cells—also known ...
