Mitochondria are central hubs for cellular stress adaptation, with their function integrated with both apoptosis and autophagy pathways that determine cell fate. Alterations in mitochondrial ...

A new study unravels the relationship between mitofusins (mitochondrial proteins) and autophagy. Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ...

Autophagy is a critical cellular process that removes damaged organelles and recycles nutrients to maintain homeostasis. In cancer, autophagy plays a complex role, supporting tumor suppression and ...

In a twist that blurs the lines between two devastating diseases, scientists have spotted dementia-like behavior in the pancreas. In mice, pancreatic cells teetering on the brink of cancer began to ...

In a recent breakthrough, scientists from Washington University School of Medicine and Baylor College of Medicine have ...
