Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Share on Pinterest A new study looks at how vitamin B12 could accelerate tissue repair, and why that matters. Image credit: Berena Alvarez/Stocksy. Tissue regeneration is the process of reconstructing ...

Salk researchers report they have discovered a protein called Mitf that mediates the repair function in the peripheral nervous systems of mice. The protein Mitf helps turn on the repair function of ...

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 ...
