For patients with severe corneal injuries, blindness has often been seen as a life sentence. But a new eye stem cell transplant may change that. Scientists at Massachusetts Eye and Ear have ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Cellular injury entails disruptions in a cell's structure or function triggered by factors such as physical trauma, chemical exposure, infectious agents, and oxidative stress. These alterations may ...

A genetic mutation that helps animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing nerve damage in conditions such as cerebral paralysis and multiple ...

Proteome-scale visual screening in budding yeast provides a functional catalog of plasma membrane repair proteins and reveals the coordinated cellular responses at the bud tip and the damage site.

The mechanism for muscle stem cells repair could inspire therapeutics for muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is ...

Eye injuries that damage the cornea are usually irreversible and cause blindness. But a new clinical trial has repaired this damage in patients thanks to a transplant of stem cells from their healthy ...

A cell therapy preserves muscle structure and function in laboratory mice with a type of disease similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, according to new research from the Smidt Heart Institute at ...
