Nearly every cell in your body depends on mitochondria to survive and function properly. Mitochondria earned the nickname “powerhouse of the cell” because they provide 90% of our bodies’ energy. Less ...

Using a strong-tasting sensor molecule and a virus-specific building block, researchers have developed a rapid influenza self-test that can be used in chewing gum or lollipops, which releases a strong ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have found that the next-generation target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway inhibitor – rapalink-1 – can significantly prolong lifespan in simple fission ...

The researchers say their geometric approach could eventually provide new markers for identifying dementia risk.

A new study has examined micronutrient-driven adaptation worldwide and across a broad range of micronutrients. We spoke with the lead author, Dr. Jasmin Rees, to learn more about the implications of ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore ...

Despite the importance of iridoids, their biosynthetic pathway had not yet been fully elucidated. The crucial step of cyclisation to nepetalactol, the basic structure of all iridoids, was still ...

Researchers in Zurich and New York have developed an ultrasound-based method for influencing brain networks. The technique is non-invasive and works through the skull. The method functions like a ...

Researchers created a tiny medicine made of lipid nanoparticles, fat-like particles that can safely deliver genetic drugs into liver cells. Once inside, the siRNA silences a gene called SPTLC2, which ...

Researchers at McMaster University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made two scientific breakthroughs at once: they not only discovered a brand-new antibiotic that targets ...

Permafrost researchers have recovered microbes trapped in 40,000-year-old permafrost, finding that these ancient microbes can still be "woken" and remain capable of hosting life and forming ...

The ubiquitin precursor protein CxUb is activated in response to cellular stress, identifying damaged proteins and helping to maintain cellular health.
