New target in the fight against heart disease
Medical College of Georgia scientists report new insight into how the smooth muscle cells enable unhealthy growth and a new target to intervene in the fight against heart disease.
The Medical College of Georgia Department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy is dedicated to understanding cellular function through state-of-the art research in areas such as autophagy and apoptosis, bone metabolism, developmental biology, molecular motors, dysphagia/swallowing disorders, exosome biology, renal disease, stem cell research, vision science (retina and cornea), and cell wounding.

The bone and muscle that keep us upright are in constant communication and their wellbeing tends to go hand in hand.
Motor proteins running the natural roadways on the skeletons of our cells are hauling cargo that is both essential to life and can cause disease, scientists say.
Our cells are constantly communicating, and scientists have developed an efficient way to find out what messages they are sending.
