A new review shines a spotlight on efferocytosis, a critical biological process responsible for the removal of dead cells, as a central force in promoting efficient wound repair and maintaining tissue ...

A new LMU study shows how different immune cells variously influence the formation of dangerous vascular deposits—and ...

A new scientific discovery may open the door to better treatments for some of the world’s most common age-related diseases.

Postdoctoral researcher Prerana Sharma from the University of South Florida investigates corneal injury, nerve-immune ...

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 people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new healing mechanism in injured cells called cathartocytosis, in which cells "vomit" out their internal machinery to revert more quickly to a stem cell-like ...

Scientists have created the most detailed cell map to date showing how genetic variation influences inflammatory bowel ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have uncovered a molecular “switch” that appears to fuel the damaging brain inflammation seen in Alzheimer’s disease. They found that a protein called STING becomes ...
