A newly identified molecular player may help explain how cartilage in the jaw joint resists inflammatory damage.

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.

Researchers engineered the first injectable microtissue containing motor and sensory neurons encased in protective tissue, called tissue engineered neuromuscular interfaces (TE-NMIs). The TE-NMI ...

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 ...

The gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract—drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings ...
