How the Natural Process of DNA Repair Fails to Cause Disease

We often come to an understanding of what causes a disease. We know, for example, that cancers are caused by mutations at critical locations in the genome, resulting in loss of control of cell growth.

Single mechanosensitive protein shown to contribute to fibrosis in multiple organs

Researchers from Kyushu University have found how a single mechanosensitive protein induces the process that thickens and scars tissue, known as fibrosis. The protein, called VGLL3, was shown to contribute to fibrosis in multiple organs.

Accumulation of collagen at injured sites in the gut stimulates cellular reprogramming, study reveals

Most cells have a pretty normal life: they're born, they grow, they get old, and they die. But the Benjamin Buttons of the cellular world can go from old to young again in the right context.
