Mitochondria on the move: New discovery could revolutionize treatment of brain diseases

The human brain is an organ that takes nearly from 20 to 25% of the energy the body needs. This high energy demand for neuronal functions depends on the transport and precise distribution of mitochondria — the energy-generating cell organelles — in each neuron.

New approach to treating neuropathic pain offers the possibility of non-opioid pain relief for millions

Researchers investigated the selective activity of sigmoid 2 receptor (σ2R) or transmembrane protein 97 (TMEM97) ligands on murine neuropathic pain models, their effects on nociceptive neurons and the mechanism of action after 24 hours.

Study sheds light on 7-DHC's potential to induce cell death-resistant state in tumors

Cell death is fundamental to life and, thus, healthy aging. In the realm of cellular biology, ferroptosis (a form of programmed cell death) has emerged not only as a focal point of research for its potential in eliminating cancer cells, but also its role in a plethora of other diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, eye diseases such as Retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration, as well as ischemia, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, acute kidney injury and inflammation.
