As society ages, the number of patients with heart failure is rapidly increasing. Excessive growth of fibrotic tissue in the heart, known as fibrosis, is associated with the progression of heart ...

A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.

Cancer cells often invade different tissues by forming rounded protrusions called blebs. However, the exact mechanism behind this expansion remained unclear. Now, researchers at Kyushu University have ...

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

If cells are the factories, proteins are the workers. They control nearly every aspect of cell function, from structure to signaling, from transport to defense. And, like many workers, they rarely act ...

This review examines how GLP-1 receptor agonists may influence neurodegenerative disease biology through metabolic, ...

A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein. Long before Lewy bodies form, alpha-synuclein can interfere with neurons' ...

Tarapeutics Science Inc. has reported new pyrazolopyridine compounds acting as dual specificity protein kinase CLK and dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK) inhibitors.

As society ages, the number of patients with heart failure is rapidly increasing. The progression of the disease is caused by excessive growth of fibrotic tissue in the heart, known as fibrosis. A ...
