Mechanism to protect the liver from destruction in case of obesity revealed

Scientists from the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University found out that blocking of receptor gp130 on the surface of liver cells helps to protect this organ from destruction in case of obesity.

Researchers discover a receptor and protein associated with Lou Gehrig's disease

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered a receptor, sigma-1 receptor, and a protein, ATAD3A, that are associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Exploring metabolic compatibility as a possible limiting factor to prokayrotic endosymbioses

"One of the great mysteries of biology," says Eric Libby, former SFI Postdoctoral Fellow, now an associate professor at the Integrated Science Lab (IceLab), Umeå University in Sweden, "is eukaryogenesis, or how eukaryotes arose." Scientists consider this to be a period of major evolutionary transition, critical to our understanding of the history and evolution of life on Earth.

Targeting antiviral pathway may offer a new approach to fight Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia

Targeting part of an antiviral pathway triggered by the accumulation of a key pathogen shared in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia may one day offer a new therapeutic approach to deterring or delaying cognitive decline, according to preclinical research led by Weill Cornell Medicine scientists.

Research findings could help inform more effective therapies for AML

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes a large number of abnormal blood cells. It is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults.

Mitophagy helps blood cancer cells to evade the killing effects of BH3 mimetic drug

Despite the promise of new medications that promote cancer cell death in people with acute myeloid leukemia, leukemic cells often adopt features that let them evade the drugs' effects within a year.

Research reveals molecular features of rare mtDNA mutations

A high-throughput single-cell single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technology known as iMiGseq has provided new insights into mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and offers a platform for assessing mtDNA editing strategies and genetic diagnosis of embryos prior to their implantation.

Salk study opens an entirely new way of thinking about cognitive decline

Brains are like puzzles, requiring many nested and codependent pieces to function well. The brain is divided into areas, each containing many millions of neurons connected across thousands of synapses.

Dietary supplement N-acetylcysteine helps overcome treatment resistance in breast cancer

Many cancer therapies do not produce the hoped-for results. A common reason for this is that the tumors develop resistance to the medication.

Scientists unearth some of the biological mechanisms behind ferroptosis

A team of researchers at Tohoku University has unearthed some of the biological mechanisms of ferroptosis, a recently discovered type of regulated cell death that is triggered by iron and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation - lipids that have undergone oxidative degeneration.
