Gut microbe metabolite TMA improves blood sugar by shutting down a key inflammatory switch
A microbial metabolite long linked to cardiovascular risk emerges as a surprising ally against metabolic inflammation, revealing how…
New method reveals how human cells initiate DNA replication
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process…
Study reveals ATM kinase as the key driver of replicative senescence
After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres-the…
Comprehensive kinase atlas reveals new insights into cell signaling and disease
The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme’s…
Researchers identify a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to coronavirus replication
The discovery could serve as a starting point for antiviral strategies. A research team at Ruhr University Bochum,…
Eating peanuts while pregnant may influence how a child’s genes respond to breastfeeding
Researchers found that mothers who ate both peanuts and peanut butter during pregnancy had children with distinct DNA…
