Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered a critical link between the immune system in early life and ...

The team worked for 10 years to uncover the hidden brain-cell death process fueling several dementias, revealing a key new ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of ...

In the case of SARS-COV-2, vROs are composed of double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) that originate upon remodelling of the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (Fig. 1). The biogenesis of the vROs ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new healing mechanism in injured cells called cathartocytosis, in which cells "vomit" out their internal machinery to revert more quickly to a stem cell-like ...

Investigation of transcriptomic signatures of aging has uncovered alterations in several processes, either as possible causes of cellular damage or as adaptive responses to age-related functional ...

A new discovery from an international collaborative research team has solved the mystery of how cells turn on their recycling process and create "garbage bags" to remove proteins. The process of how ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...
