Can eating fat be good for us? Some fatty acid molecules actually play a crucial role in maintaining our health and cellular functions. By the early twentieth century, scientists and doctors widely ...
During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...
Ketone bodies are not just about energy. These metabolites are powerful signaling molecules that have profound effects on the proteome and protein quality control in the brain. Scientists, working in ...
Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be ...
(a) Disease progression can be classified into three states: the normal stage, pre-disease stage and disease stage, with the pre-disease stage representing a critical threshold just before the onset ...
Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
Molecules that help cells communicate with each other--called cytokines--might be the key to repairing diabetic nerve damage, according to a new study published in Experimental Neurology. Diabetes ...
The new molecules selectively reduced inflammatory signaling in human immune cells without affecting other immune pathways. Treatment with the molecules also reduced inflammation in mice with the ...
