Important insights into the mechanisms behind Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a common cause of age-related visual loss, have been revealed in a new study led by UCL researchers. The study ...

Understanding the mechanisms behind cell death and survival is crucial when it comes to conditions like heart failure, which affects millions of people worldwide. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Cyanobacteria began contributing oxygen to Earth's mostly noxious atmosphere more than 2 billion years ago. The photosystem II protein complex now shared by various lineages of cyanobacteria, algae ...

Viruses are masters of stealth. From the moment a virus enters the host's body, it begins hijacking its cells. First, the virus binds to a specific protein on the cell's surface through a lock-and-key ...

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

BMPER attenuated PI3K/AKT signaling and suppressed BMP4-driven smooth muscle activation in models of PAH. BMPER overexpression mitigated the vascular remodeling that characterizes pulmonary arterial ...
