Inside every cell, a cleanup operation runs around the clock. Proteins are constantly damaged by wear and tear. Some can be repaired, while others must be dismantled and recycled. When this system ...

The findings indicate that it may be possible to improve nerve cell health in ALS by modulating the activity of certain ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein linked to cell death is secretly driving the aging of blood stem cells in a ...

Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that helps prevent common skin cancers from becoming aggressive and metastatic. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the ...

Scientists have discovered a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, forcing the cells to rewire how they generate energy. This shift makes them more powerful ...

How does blood age? A new study identifies the MLKL protein as a non-lethal driver of hematopoietic stem cell aging via ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...
