Strokes lead to irreversible damage to the brain and are one of the most common causes of dependency or death. As the cellular reactions to a cerebral infarction are not yet fully understood, there is ...

Gene regulation in our cells—the decision on which proteins are produced for the various processes of the cell—is strictly regulated. It has long been assumed that this regulation deteriorates with ...

A new review highlights the pivotal role of LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1) in regulating critical cellular processes and its implications for human diseases. This article sheds light on how post ...

A molecular geneticist at Montana State University has discovered a cellular process once believed impossible by ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

Caspases are a family of proteolytic enzymes that play a central role in apoptosis, the regulated process of programmed cell death essential for development, homeostasis and the clearance of damaged ...

Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the same physics principle used in AM radio transmission. Cyanobacteria, an ...

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases have traditionally been interpreted as disorders arising from dysregulation of adaptive or innate immune responses, ...

We quantified age-related changes in gene regulatory relationships across eight human tissues. Our results reveal that the gene–gene relationships that become stronger with age affect mostly genes ...

Methylation is a process that influences how much fatigue you may feel. Here is what it actually means and why it is ...
