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 ...

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As ...

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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
