Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by excessive bone loss, leading to increased fragility and an increased risk of fractures. Osteoclasts, the bone-resorbing cells, are widely ...

Researchers reset aged stem cells to a much younger state.

I’d love to read a creepy science fiction story where people dissolve. I asked my friend Anders Omsland if that could happen. He’s a biomedical researcher at Washington State University. He told me a ...

Lysosomes are thought of as cellular organelles that play an important role in recycling proteins and maintaning cells by breaking down stuff that isn’t needed. But new research has found that ...

As blood stem cells age, their lysosomes become overactive and damaged, triggering inflammation and weakening the body’s ...

Fukuoka, Japan—The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or programmed cell ...
