Plants have an extraordinary ability to sense tissue damage and quickly rebuild their protective outer layers, a process vital for survival amid environmental stresses. The periderm—a specialized ...

Researchers have identified a backup mechanism of protein quality control which prevents the toxic effects of protein aggregation in specific tissues when normal methods of molecular monitoring fail.

According to a recent study published in Cell Reports, substance P produced by the nociceptors in the gut lining confers protection against inflammation and tissue damage by increasing the number of ...

A new study reports that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) induces protective tissue memory that includes both humoral and cellular elements to protect specific tissue ...

A team in Germany has shown that mouse brain tissue can regain measurable signs of activity after being preserved in a ...
