Researchers at Zhejiang University found that acute stress increases natural repair mechanisms in the brain, while chronic ...

Explore the science behind cold plunges and how they transform your cells for better health and cold tolerance.

This study, though small (just 10 young men), suggests that cold exposure can activate molecular pathways associated with ...

Cold plunges have become a fixture on wellness feeds and gym schedules. But what does science say when you strip away the hype?

The UK has launched a £1m ($1.3m) research partnership to explore the use of limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) in nuclear waste encapsulation. The University of Sheffield, Sellafield Ltd, the ...

BNIP3 and NIX are two other key genes in the process of mitophagy, with equal importance in autophagy. Proteins encoded by the BNIP3 and NIX genes facilitate the recognition and degradation of damaged ...

While autophagy is relevant to many biological processes and often serves as a gatekeeper of homeostasis, when something goes wrong it can either lead to disease or be activated to fight against it.

Follow-up investigations into lysosome abnormalities and autophagy dysfunctions are also needed ... RPTEC mitochondrial respiratory chain function and decreased autophagosome LC3-II accumulation, ...

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which autophagy is pivotal in its pathogenesis. This study aims to identify autophagy-related genes associated with RA and ...
