The microbe Pyrodictium abyssi is an archaeon—a member of what's known as the third domain of life—and an extremophile. It ...
A next-generation drug tested in yeast was found to extend lifespan and slow aging by influencing a major growth-control pathway. Researchers also uncovered an unexpected role for agmatinases, enzymes ...
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, providing the first molecular ...
Researchers have identified how a single mutation in the GPX4 enzyme causes neurons to undergo ferroptosis, leading to severe early-onset dementia.
A team from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative ...
We have long struggled to determine how the first living organisms on Earth came together. Now, surprising evidence hints ...
