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.

A naturally occurring gene called Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), which turns off after birth in humans, can actually make new, functioning heart cells and help the heart repair itself from injury, including a ...

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 ...

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

As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
