Study finds pathogens coerce immunity by using force
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
A study found that pathogens can use physical force to defeat a cell's defence mechanisms. The study found that pathogens can avoid being ingested by immune cells by exerting a "propulsive force."

Study illuminates fundamental mechanisms of intracellular lipid recycling
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Previous studies identified the proteins Atg15, Pep4, and Prb1 as essential actors in this process. However, the relationship between these proteins and the underlying mechanisms remains unknown. A research team has recently made significant progress towards solving this puzzle.

A novel method creates a window for studying the transport and distributio
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Plant roots are crucial in the uptake, selection, enrichment, and retention of a variety of mineral elements, which supply distant plant tissues with nutrients and sequesters excess metals. A variety of ion transporters found at roots mediate the absorption, efflux, and intracellular compart

Molecular mechanism involved in development of type 2 diabetes: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
The study has described --in patients and animal model samples of type 2 diabetes-- a decrease in mitochondrial proteins that synthesize complex subunits of the respiratory chain. This decrease in proteins is associated with an increase in intracellular nitric oxide which, according to the r

Researchers reveal role of polyphenols in regulating inflammatory immune r
Updated : 3 years ago IST
PCB2DG, an anti-inflammatory polyphenol, inhibits glutamine absorption by targeting and directly interacting with the main glutamine transporter protein, alanine serine cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2). This reduction in intracellular glutamine accumulation in CD4+ T cells also inhibits the pr

Research shows how melanoma readies lymph nodes for tumor spread
Updated : 4 years, 1 month ago IST
New York City (New York) [US], January 21 (ANI): A new study revealed that melanoma cells released small extracellular packages containing the protein nerve growth factor receptor, which primed nearby lymph nodes for tumor metastases.
