Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study ...

Researchers have discovered how to block cells dying, in a finding that could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The team has identified a small ...

In a new study, researchers have identified a way to stop cells from dying, opening the door to developing treatments that slow the progression of neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease ...

KANAZAWA, Japan, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Nano, how proteins in cells can be controllably ...

Many cancer-driving mutations disable a key checkpoint in the cell’s cycle between growth and division, resulting in unchecked activity of the E2F family of transcription factor proteins. A set of ...

As mere mortals, we know all too well that to live is to die—and the very same can be said for the smallest structural units of our bodies. But in the microscopic world of our cells, not all forms of ...
