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 ...

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 ...

Dry eye disease affects millions of people, causing burning, redness, and constant eye fatigue that can worsen over time. Scientists now believe the problem may begin deep inside tear glands, where a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

At roughly 70 years human age, the mice looked elderly and unremarkable. Yet hidden underneath was a youthful cellular clock, turned back in time based on a Nobel-Prize-winning strategy. It’s also the ...

Central to a lot of scientific research into aging are tiny caps on the ends of our chromosomes called telomeres. These protective sequences of DNA grow a little shorter each time a cell divides, but ...

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 ...
