Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

If you had to swallow a pouch of toxins, you’d like to be certain the pouch was indestructible. Similarly, every eukaryotic cell seeks to ensure that the membranes of its many miniscule sacs called ...

For the first time, the pathway through which cells repair damaged lysosomes has been observed and described. Lysosomes are the recycling center of a cell, where molecular waste is degraded into the ...

When a pregnant woman's water breaks too early, it often leads to preterm birth, with no effective method to prevent or treat it. Researchers have discovered that the lipid molecule prostacyclin plays ...

Findings in The American Journal of Pathology open avenues for development of therapeutic strategies to enhance membrane repair and prevent preterm birth “Preterm birth is a major challenge in ...
