Macrophages Function as Trash Collectors for Energy-Demanding Tissues

The body's heart muscle (for pumping blood), skeletal muscle (for movement and posture), and brown fat (for heat production), each require a lot of energy and make a lot of waste. And that waste needs to be managed.

Bacterial Protein Fragment Disrupts Cell Quality Systems Causing Tissue Scarring

A bacterial protein fragment called corisin drives the process of pulmonary fibrosis by infiltrating and disrupting the cell's quality-control system, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Mie University in Japan found in a new study.

Genomic Database Analysis Identifies New Target for Triple-Negative Breast Tumors

Triple-negative breast cancer accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancer cases. It is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 expression, rendering it insensitive to conventional endocrine and targeted therapies.

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.

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.
