The involvement of glial cells in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been mostly viewed as a secondary adaptive response to ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

Like all forms of cancer, lung cancer is defined by uncontrolled cell division caused by loss of physiological tissue homeostasis and failure of apoptotic cell death mechanisms. Aberrant cell ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key brain cells, restoring vital dopamine communication and neuroprotective ...

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a rare bone marrow disorder that affects the production of blood cells. It causes scarring, or fibrosis, in the bone marrow, which reduces the body’s ability to produce ...

Scientists have advanced a new frontier in longevity research after formally proving the role of subcellular stress in mammalian aging. Our cells are like tiny molecular factories, working to carry ...

Kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending cracks with lacquer and gold. Kintsugi visibly incorporates the history of an object into its new form. In this analogy, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Many degenerative diseases are at least partially caused by mitochondrial dysfunction in cells. Researchers have created a method in which ...
