Enzymes are important tools, and a new technology combining microbiology and AI has exciting potential to advance their use ...

Excess fat in brain immune cells weakens defenses against Alzheimer’s. Blocking fat storage restored their ability to fight disease. For many years, scientists believed that fat in the brain had ...

A research team led by Director C. Justin LEE of the Center for Cognition and Sociality at the Institute for Basic Science ...

Excess fat deposits in the brain's immune cells – the microglia – could impair their ability to combat disease. This may open ...

Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains—named the Lipocone superfamily—and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...

The liver is one of the most essential organs, which maintains the body's overall health. The liver performs three essential ...

Spinal cord injuries caused by external trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls, often lead to the permanent loss of motor ...

It was long thought that fat in the brain played no role in neurodegenerative diseases, but Purdue University researchers are ...

Spinal cord injuries caused by external trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls, often lead to the permanent loss of motor ...

The molecule Wnt, which plays a role in cell communication during human development, evolved from a superfamily with a shared lipid-modifying mechanism originally involved in bacterial defence and ...

Aging research is increasingly focused on proteins that regulate DNA repair, metabolism, cell survival and tissue renewal.
