The head of a roundworm, C. elegans. The glia that regulate the stress response in all the worm’s cells are highlighted. A mere four of these cells, known as CEPsh […]

Researchers have discovered that a small molecule can help some T cells combat tumours during PD-1 blockade immunotherapy in mice. A small molecule that inhibits energy production in T cells […]

Mitochondria cannot autonomously cope with stress and must instead call on the cell for help. Molecular geneticists at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have identified the long-sought signaling pathway which enables […]

Studies in animal models investigating mitochondrial abnormalities in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) found that therapies targeting mitochondria — the powerhouses of cells — are consistently effective in prolonging survival, a […]
