Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

At least 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide. Among the various forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease — a neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by a loss of neurons — is the most ...

Sepsis remains a major challenge in modern medicine, claiming millions of lives each year. For decades, clinical management has largely focused on suppressing excessive inflammation.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are increasingly recognized as important contributors to sepsis-associated immune dysfunction. As professional antigen-presenting cells, they bridge innate sensing and durable ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...
