Autophagy, the process by which cells recycle damaged components, has long been associated with neuroprotection. However, the ...

Aging involves gradual functional decline across various biological systems, including impaired cellular mechanisms such as ...

Eleven-year-old Hayden Thomas enjoys playing tennis with his sister Madilynn. He can even serve the ball, thanks in part to a ...

Researchers developed a wireless photothermal nanosystem using gold nanoshells to stimulate thermosensitive TRPV1 receptors ...

When a neuron receives a stimulus, changes in membrane voltage (the electrical charge across the neuron cell membrane) trigger the neuron to activate, causing rapid changes in membrane voltage to ...

Importantly, by artificially suppressing levels of eIF2β, the team discovered that they could restore the autophagy that was lost and regain some of the neuron function that was impaired due to ...
