For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or ...

Scientists have discovered a new cellular process called cathartocytosis, where cells "vomit" their contents to heal.

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process ...

Cells close wounds by re-shaping their endoplasmic reticulum, switching between crawling and contracting movements depending ...

Researchers have discovered a regulatory process that controls the maturation of brain cells. This regulation seems to be ...

Zooming in on individual cells The body has various mechanisms to repair DNA, but the process can differ from cell to cell. This makes it important to study DNA repair in individual cells.

Researchers have illustrated a novel process called cathartocytosis, where cells "vomit" waste to promote healing and regenerate healthy tissue more rapidly.

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds—with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the ...
