Immunotherapy has been one of the most transformative treatments for cancer patients in recent decades, shifting the emphasis ...

Previously unknown access points in cell membrane proteins have been discovered, enabling laboratory-developed drugs to modify cell function. The discovery was made possible through computer ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function - it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle ...

A groundbreaking study published in Research (2025, DOI: 10.34133/research.0545) has elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates CD8+ T cell-mediated immune ...

Vitamin B2 is an essential nutrient that the human body cannot make on its own. Because of this, people must obtain it from the foods they eat. This vitamin, also called riboflavin, is commonly found ...

Swallowing is a fundamental human function that supports nutrition and communication. Damage to swallowing muscles can reduce ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...
