Researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. Peter Dempsey, PhD, professor of ...

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 tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as ...

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 ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that targeting a specific immune process ...

Natural killer cells, or NK cells, are elements of the immune system capable of rapidly locating and destroying cancerous or ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. As our bodies grow and develop, cells naturally die off where they are ...
