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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

Investigators have identified several steps in a cellular process responsible for triggering one of the body's important inflammatory responses. Their findings open up possibilities for modulating the ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators have identified several steps in a cellular process responsible for triggering one of the body's important inflammatory responses. Their findings, published in the ...

To better understand illnesses that originate in the body, including cancer as well as autoimmune and neurological disorders, West Virginia University biochemists are examining a molecular process ...

The results of research headed by a team at Albert Einstein College of Medicine suggest that revving up a cellular housekeeping process that slows down as we age may protect against atherosclerosis.

Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have discovered a new potential way to prevent arteries clogging, and as such reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The technique ...

In a new study, scientists have shown how two genes "balance" each other to maintain normal cell function. A disruption in one of the genes, called spns1, can induce degradation and premature ...

Nitrogen is an essential component in the production of amino acids and nucleic acids—both necessary for cell growth and function. Although the atmosphere is composed of nearly 80% nitrogen, this ...

Telephone and Data Systems (NYSE:TDS) rose 5/8% and US Cellular (NYSE:USM) gained 3.3% after T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS) said it's looking at the US Cellular sales process on its conference call on ...
