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 ...

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Now, researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, unfolds over time.

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 ...

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 ...

The CEMIP enzyme inhibits the growth of oligodendrocytes and may serve as a therapeutic target to boost myelin repair in MS, ...

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 ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...
