Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response are often implicated in the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), from simple steatosis ...
A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...
Ageing may not simply be the result of damage piling up over time. Scientists studying microscopic worms have discovered a striking structural change inside cells that could play a central role in how ...
Yeast, worms, and mice remodel their endoplasmic reticulum early in the aging process. The protective shift offers potential targets to extend healthy lifespan.
In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...
According to recent reports from the Korean government, the incidence of alcoholic liver disease—previously the leading indication for liver transplantation—has been decreasing. This trend initially ...
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified two lipids that work together with a quintessential protein known ...
By Pooja Toshniwal Paharia Preclinical studies increasingly place circular RNAs at the intersection of thermogenic programming and organelle stress control, raising the possibility that these stable ...
This study reports an important and novel finding that TENT5A, an enzyme involved in fine-tuning poly(A) tail length on selected mRNAs, is required for proper enamel mineralization in mice. The ...
