In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

The human body operates on a roughly 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm. The cycle is primarily controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus — two clusters of neurons in the hypothalamus. This ...

Proteome-scale visual screening in budding yeast provides a functional catalog of plasma membrane repair proteins and reveals the coordinated cellular responses at the bud tip and the damage site.

The mechanism for muscle stem cells repair could inspire therapeutics for muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications.

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 ...

Chronic diabetic ulcers represent one of the most challenging complications in modern healthcare, affecting over 131 million people worldwide and generating approximately $755 billion in annual ...

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy treatments.

Imaging shows regeneration of sensory axons four weeks after a spinal cord injury in an adult mouse injected with PDGF-BB at the lesion site. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny ...

A novel, rapid and non‑destructive method was developed to provide real-time insights into iron flux in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) using a micromagnetic resonance relaxometry (µMRR) deviceThe ...
