Now, in a study published March 30 in Cell Chemical Biology, UB scientists have shed light on one such stressor, showing that ...

A naturally occurring fat molecule reduced heart inflammation and scarring caused by diabetes, thereby improving cardiac function, according to new research. The findings open the door to developing a ...

How do we feel cold? Nobel Prize-winning researchers have discovered the molecular mechanism of the TRPM8 "cold sensor" ...

When starved of oxygen during a heart attack or stroke, cells unleash a flurry of emergency measures to protect themselves and the body. For decades, scientists have observed that the body's ...

Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are increasingly present in the population. Brown adipose tissue has a protective function against these prevalent diseases, as it burns calories and can ...

Obesity is known to be a major risk factor that exacerbates metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes. A key molecule ...

Monash University and Seaport Therapeutics have developed a new approach to delivering drug molecules that piggybacks onto ...

A small molecule could provide valuable help in combating the global epidemic of obesity. When it was fed to obese mice, the animals' metabolism sped up and their excess weight was shed. It is doing ...

When cells experience enough chronic stress, they can stop dividing permanently. In this state of cellular limbo, known as replicative senescence, cells remain alive but no longer proliferate.
