Research Reevaluates Crucial Microtubule Stabilizing Protein in Dementia Progression

A protein named tau, which has been highly implicated in the world's No. 1 cause of dementia - Alzheimer's disease - and several other neurodegenerative disorders, may spur these diseases in a way that differs greatly from the pathological pathway usually ascribed to it.

Emerging m6A RNA Biology Explains Brain Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards

A growing understanding of RNA biology is reshaping how scientists view the relationship between environmental toxicants, brain development, and neurodegenerative disease.

Tireless Stem Cells Drive Continuous Renewal Across High Friction Human Intestines

Digestion is hard on the cells that line the human gut, and they are constantly being shed and replaced. This renewal is driven by a population of tireless stem cells. These stem cells can both replace the various types of intestinal cells that have been lost as well as renew themselves.

Stable RNA Structures Revolutionize Quality of Life in Oncology Care

A new review highlights the growing importance of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in addressing one of the most pressing challenges in modern oncology: treatment-related toxicity.

Mapping Spatial Genome Architecture Unlocks Hidden Biological Mechanisms Behind Genetic Risk

Much of how genetic risk leads to disease has remained hidden. In many cases, genetic variants linked to disease do not act on nearby genes along the chromosome. Instead, they influence genes located far away along the DNA sequence.

New Analytical Framework Captures Coordinated Host and Microbial Disease Responses

The trillions of microorganisms living in our intestine influence our health, from digestion and metabolism to immunity.

T Cells Identify Dangerous Pathogenic Threats to Keep Bodies Healthy

Your body depends on T cells to stay healthy. These white blood cells act like a neighborhood watch in the body, helping the immune system spot threats such as viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.

Uncovering New Pathological Pathways Behind Sepsis Triggered Circulatory Failure Risks

Sepsis triggers widespread inflammation, circulatory failure and metabolic stress, and cardiac dysfunction is a common complication associated with sharply poorer outcomes.

Innovative SenMayo Gene Set Consistently Identifies Diverse Senescent Cells

A series of seven Mayo Clinic studies is helping reshape scientists' understanding of senescent, or "zombie," cells - aging cells that no longer divide but remain metabolically active and release inflammatory molecules that contribute to age-related diseases.

Dysfunctional Mitochondria Control Epigenetic Switches to Turn On Inflammatory Genes

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps aging cells drive the chronic inflammation linked to many age-related diseases.

Study Uncovers Two Distinct Embryonic Macrophage Populations with Different Repair Abilities

In leukemia's most aggressive forms, the blood cell factories in our bone marrow falter. Instead of dividing and multiplying at their usual prolific pace, generating hundreds of billions of new cells daily, some precursor cells stall out at an immature stage.

Basement Membrane Remodeling Drives Melanocyte Dedifferentiation in Vitiligo Skin Lesions

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys melanocytes, the cells that produce the skin pigment melanin. Once the melanocytes are gone, the skin turns white, leading to the characteristic skin patches of the disease.

Artificially Recreating C3 Effects Overcomes Resistance in Hard-to-Treat Tumors

An ancient molecule that existed long before the blood circulation system evolved, has been found to support cancer immunotherapy. Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan found that complement C3 protein acts inside tumors to prevent the accumulation of immunosuppressive cells, but only when produced inside the tumor.
