Damage to the body's peripheral nerves can cause pain and movement disorders. Researchers have recently investigated how damaged nerves can regenerate better. They found that fat tissue strongly ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

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

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

The process of aging, and how to stop it, has long puzzled scientists. However, in a new study, published in the journal EMBO Reports, researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University in ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how the cells that let us hear can repair themselves after being damaged. That important insight could benefit efforts to develop ...

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This regeneration capacity is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Biologists discovered that mitochondria in different tissues talk to each other to repair injured cells. When their signal fails, the biological clock starts winding down. Aging can seem like an ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have ...
