A new study published in Nature Communications has uncovered a communication pathway between mitochondria and RNA granules ...
Cell signalling pathways are central to maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating essential functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, and repair. In both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, ...
Cancer cells are remarkably good at adapting to stress. When treatments damage them, they often find new ways to survive, ...
Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.
Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...
The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme's "tail" called phosphorylation patterns. Scientists at St. Jude Children's ...
Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells' internal "skeleton," help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a ...
The researchers used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) mRNA to cancer cells. This results in production of the endogenous stimulator of interferon genes ...
A team led by Stanford biologist Bo Wang and lead author Chew Chai has identified a previously unknown type of immune cell in ...
