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 ...

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 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 ...

Forces generated by cells and their surroundings are essential regulators of cell adhesion, signaling function and development. In turn, cells sense and adapt to mechanical stress which influences ...
