Some DNA damage evades repair for years, causing repeated mutations during cell division, increasing cancer risk, especially ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

The healing of an epithelial defect requires epithelial cell migration, adhesion and mitosis. The epithelial cells must migrate over the epithelial defect. This step requires healthy limbal stem ...

A research team from the University of California, Irvine has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have solved a big mystery in cancer research—why cells die in ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic ...

Cell competition in epithelial tissue eliminates transformed cells expressing activated oncoproteins to maintain epithelial homeostasis. Although the process is now understood to be of mechanochemical ...

Inhibiting the HIF2 protein was found to promote repair processes in a mouse model of lung injury, and may be a strategy for ...

A research team has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This discovery deepens the understanding of a new type of ...
