Fever drives enhanced activity, mitochondrial damage in immune cells: Stud
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Fever increases immune cell metabolism, proliferation, and activity, but it also causes mitochondrial stress, DNA damage, and cell death in a specific subgroup of T cells, according to Vanderbilt University Medical Centre researchers.

Study finds how lung cancer captures immune cell metabolism for its own g
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for the majority of cancer-related fatalities in the US. There are various causes of lung adenocarcinoma, one of which is a mutation in a protein known as EGFR. Non-mutant EGFR stimulates cell proliferation in response to

Study reveals how fatty liver leads to colorectal cancer
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Cedars-Sinai Cancer Centre researchers discovered that fatty liver, a condition commonly associated with obesity, promotes the progression of colon cancer to the liver. Their research, which was published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell Metabolism, delves into the process at the cellular l

Study reveals how neural stem cells potentially be reactivated to form new
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Neural stem cells that are quiescent or latent in some parts of the adult brain may one day become active and create new neurons. Yet, nothing is currently known about the change from quiescence to proliferation.

Scientists identify protein that's crucial to tumor cells' metabolism
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Tumor cells typically alter their energy metabolism and increase glucose uptake to support their rapid division and spread. This limits glucose availability for immune cells and therefore dampens the body's anti-cancer immune response.

Overactive cell metabolism linked to biological ageing: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Why do cells, and by extension humans, age? The answer may have a lot to do with mitochondria, the organelles that supply cells with energy. Though that idea is not new, direct evidence in human cells had been lacking.

Overactive cell metabolism is associated with biological ageing: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Why do cells, and thus people, age? The solution could be related to mitochondria, the organelles that provide energy to cells. Though this is not a new thing, direct evidence in human cells had previously been lacking, until now.
