Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The findings provide new insight into how cells recognize and remove harmful DNA ...

A new review shines a spotlight on efferocytosis, a critical biological process responsible for the removal of dead cells, as a central force in promoting efficient wound repair and maintaining tissue ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Initially, cells are dissociated from liver tissues into single-cell suspensions using in vivo enzymatic perfusion or ex vivo digestion methods. The cells of interest are then enriched from the ...

Brain cells may get stuck in stress mode during multiple sclerosis, preventing myelin repair. A new drug fragment could ...

In mice, keratinocytes become senescent within just hours after an injury through a novel regulatory mechanism, revealing a ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny ...

A bandage usually covers a wound. This one comes with a bonus: it gives repair instructions. Researchers at Rice University ...

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...
