The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

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 ...

Tiny structures inside your cells keep your body alive by turning food into fuel. These structures, called mitochondria, power every heartbeat, thought, and movement. When they fail, organs that need ...

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 ...

Mitochondria can lose power like batteries, but they can potentially be regenerated—a promising development than can be used ...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease in which healthy lung tissue is gradually replaced by scar tissue.

Scientists are learning how to revive faltering human cells by loading them with fresh power plants, effectively repairing ...
