Increasing the expression of a gene slows Alzheimer’s progression in mice

According to a recent research, enhancing the expression of one gene in cells that help the brain’s neurons, shields neurons in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

A highly effective protection against oxidative stress developed by present-day humans

Very few proteins in the body have a change that makes them unique compared to the corresponding proteins in Neanderthals and apes. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany and Karolinska Institute in Sweden have now studied one such protein, glutathione reductase, which protects against oxidative stress.

New model system reveals how tiny bacteria from the environment have adapted to live inside humans

The microbes that live inside our mouths, collectively known as the oral microbiome, impact our overall health in many ways that are not yet fully understood.

Researchers discover a crucial and exploitable vulnerability in diffuse large B cell lymphomas

Aggressive and relatively common lymphomas called diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) have a critical metabolic vulnerability that can be exploited to trick these cancers into starving themselves, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell's Ithaca campus.

DNA analyses reveals insights into ancestry, social organization of ancient people in the Nile Valley

The first genome-wide ancient human DNA data from Sudan reveals new insights into the ancestry and social organization of people who lived more than 1,000 years ago in the Nile Valley, an important genetic and cultural crossroads.

Researchers develop new method to detect the onset of blood damage at sublethal stage

Red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes are constantly exposed to a "shearing stress" during their circulation in the body. This stress is usually mild and the RBCs are flexible enough to accommodate shape changes in response to it.

Study employs gene reactivation to treat Fragile X syndrome

Fragile X syndrome, or FXS—a principal genetic cause of autism—impacts around one in 6,000 females and one in 4,000 males.

Study reveals the biochemistry of long-term memory consolidation

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University recently gained a deeper understanding of the biochemistry of long-term memory.

New mechanism makes cells under stress conditions stop their polarized growth

The Oxidative Stress and Cell Cycle Research Group at UPF has discovered a mechanism whereby cells under stress conditions stop their polarized growth. The study, published in the journal Cell Reports, was led by Elena Hidalgo and José Ayté, and the first author is Clàudia Salat-Canela.
