A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

Researchers explained to TPS-IL that the same genetic machinery that allows tumors to grow at extremely high speed may also ...

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 study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Researchers at Umea University discovered how cells detect and repair damage in lysosomal membranes. Two autophagy protein ...

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 ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

Working out doesn't just build muscle but, in later life, helps maintain a powerful cellular machine that repairs damaged ...
