DNA is where pluripotency STEMS: but mitochondria “renew it all” with their protein networks “edging” to death

Mitophagy is a selective form of macro-autophagy in which unwanted or damaged mitochondria are preferentially targeted for degradation at the auto-phago-lysosome, as an adaptative...

Come altri fattori come l’età, il sesso e la genetica, il fumo ha un impatto importante sulle risposte immunitarie. Questa è la scoperta recentemente...

R-loops work with TERRA project at the G4 telomere meeting: and ILF-3 is not the correct option to erase SASPects

Telomeres are specialized structures at the ends of linear chromosomes that protect genome stability. At their level, particular forms of chromatin may be found....

Scleroderma: nothing more true than “the root is skin-deep”

A protein known to play a role in cancer may also be increasing fibrosis in scleroderma patients. Systemic sclerosis (Scleroderma, SSc) is a systemic...

Multiple sclerosis: endogenous metabolites actually spawned epigenetics

Understanding and mitigating the role of epigenetics (environmental influences that trigger changes in gene expression) in disease development is a major goal of researchers....

Dread DNA modification? Fear not, anxiety is now an option

Researchers at The University of Queensland have discovered a DNA modification that enhances our ability to extinguish fear. Fear extinction works as a counter-balance...
