Investigators have identified several steps in a cellular process responsible for triggering one of the body's important inflammatory responses. Their findings open up possibilities for modulating the ...

Take a deep breath. Now take nine more. According to new research, the amount of oxygen in one of those 10 breaths was made possible thanks to a newly identified cellular mechanism that promotes ...

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 ...

This process is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing the accumulation of cellular debris, which can lead to premature aging. The potential anti-aging effects of autophagy have ...

A new discovery from an international collaborative research team has solved the mystery of how cells turn on their recycling ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...
