BP1 is a key player in DNA repair and together with BRCA1 regulate selection of DNA double strand break repair mechanisms. Localization of DNA repair factors to sites of DNA damage by 53BP1 is ...

A newly established team of researchers at Åbo Akademi University, led by Academy Research Fellow Silvia Gramolelli (Faculty of Science and Engineering), has discovered an additional function for Heat ...

The causes of Alzheimer’s disease have long puzzled researchers, especially when most older adults show signs of the illness ...

A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function.

A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function that triggers a pathway that ...

Researchers have discovered that a gene previously seen as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease, PHGDH, actually plays a causal role by disrupting gene regulation in the brain.

An international research team has provided a detailed insight into how the spatial organization of genetic material is established in the cell nucleus of early embryos within the first hours after ...

Scientists found a genetic link between autism and DM1, where repeat DNA sequences disrupt brain gene splicing. This sheds light on ASD’s development and opens new paths for targeted treatments.

Researchers have uncovered the 3D structure of RBP3, a key protein in vision, revealing how it transports retinoids and fatty ...

Additionally, the cGAS-STING pathway is activated during IRI due to the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ... and modulating Bcl-2 family proteins. Specifically, it enhances Bcl-2’s anti-apoptotic ...

A small protein involved in neurodegeneration ... alpha-synuclein helps to perform a critical function by repairing double-strand breaks in the DNA of brain cells known as neurons.

Protein plays an important part in our body’s optimal growth, development, function, and maintenance of muscles throughout life. However, protein isn’t only for muscle building. It supplies energy, ...
