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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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, ...

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 ...
