After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

During pregnancy, maternal and fetal cells migrate back and forth across the placenta, with fetal cells entering the mother's ...

The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.

A "gene silencer" (technically known as small interfering RNA, or siRNA), locally delivered by nanoparticles embedded in an ...

Vitamin B12 is long understood as a vital nutrient required for red blood cell formation and nerve function, but a new ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...

Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in bone tissue, have long been underestimated in their functional capacity. Traditionally viewed as passive entities, recent research has illuminated their pivotal ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry ...

Researchers have uncovered a stealthy way pancreatic cancer disarms the immune system, using tiny molecular messengers to ...

Could this mark a shift in how we think about cancer therapy? At least in the laboratory, evidence suggests it may be . An ...
