A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Cellular injury entails disruptions in a cell's structure or function triggered by factors such as physical trauma, chemical exposure, infectious agents, and oxidative stress. These alterations may ...

Electron micrographs show typical microglia in the prefrontal cortex of a 92-year-old healthy female (left) and dark microglia a 91-year-old female patient with Alzheimer’s disease (right). Microglia, ...

The mystery of how cancers build up resistance mechanisms and evade the treatments that should have destroyed them is a hugely pressing question. Overcoming cancer treatment resistance—a phenomenon ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. Their study provides the first comprehensive understanding of how mRNA ...

Autophagy—meaning "self-eating" in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and degrading worn-out or dysfunctional components. Serving as an essential ...

The cellular changes induced by cold water plunges have been revealed. We’ve all heard about the potential health benefits of cold-water plunges, but what’s actually happening on a cellular level?

Cold water immersion for seven days significantly improves cellular resilience and autophagic function, helping cells manage stress better. This adaptation could enhance health and longevity, ...
