Feb. 10, 2021 — A new study shows that proteins called IAPs, which can trigger programmed cell death, are inhibited by a specific chemical modification, and reveals that they play a wider role in protein quality ...
Apr. 25, 2022 — A research group has discovered a completely unknown type of cell death that takes place in the guts of the common fruit fly. The new process, coined 'erebosis' by the researchers is ...
Jan. 13, 2022 — Understanding the basic mechanisms that lead to cell death (apoptosis) is essential for the development of therapies for cancer and other diseases. Scientists have now discovered a protein ...
Jan. 20, 2022 — Studies since the start of the pandemic have noted that pigs exposed to the coronavirus don't show clinical signs of disease nor do they transmit the virus to other animals. Scientists have ...
Aug. 31, 2022 — Progressive dysfunction and failure of insulin-releasing beta-cells is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Researchers have now shown that diabetes-resistant and -susceptible mice respond ...
May 5, 2021 — Biologists find cell extrusion, a process that helps organisms eliminated unneeded cells, is triggered when cells can't replicate their DNA during cell division. In humans, extrusion may serve ...
Aug. 5, 2022 — Researchers have revealed insights into the mechanism of how coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV exploit a host protease called 'cysteine-aspartic protease 6' ...
July 27, 2021 — A research team has directly reprogrammed whale somatic cells to neuronal cells, and conducted a neurotoxicity test using these cells. Exposure to a metabolite of polychlorinated biphenyls, ...
Feb. 18, 2022 — A pathway critical for regulating a form of cell death known as necroptosis has been identified. The team's preclinical findings suggest that an inhibitor targeting this PPP13RG protein complex ...
Apr. 28, 2021 — Tiny molecules called nanobodies, which can be designed to mimic antibody structures and functions, may be the key to blocking a tick-borne bacterial infection that remains out of reach of almost all ...
