A parasite that may already be hiding in your brain has a shocking survival trick: it can infect the very immune cells sent ...

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most ...

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

A new study shows exercise releases a liver enzyme that repairs aging brain blood vessels and restores memory in mice.

Structurally, they look similar: MNK1 and MNK2 belong to the same enzyme family and are best known for regulating how cells ...

After a long search, RIKEN researchers have identified an enzyme crucial for keeping lipid-linked sugar chains in check in yeast cells. This finding, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, reveals ...

Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...

The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

Shutting down the enzyme PTP1B helps brain immune cells clear plaques again, pointing to a potential new Alzheimer’s ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Researchers have uncovered a new way to attack lymphoma by targeting a non-catalytic region of a key regulatory enzyme, rather than its traditional active site. Researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected reason why some cancers return after initially responding to treatment.
