Polyamines—natural molecules found in every living cell—have become stars in the longevity world for their ability to boost cellular cleanup and support healthy aging. But there’s a dark twist: high ...

Research has uncovered a surprising biological twist: molecules that help support healthy aging can also contribute to cancer growth.

Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the rate of new cases continues to rise. Now, researchers at University of ...

Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by the interplay of fission and fusion proteins, are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Fission facilitates glycolysis, mitophagy, apoptosis, ...

After more than a decade of research, scientists have discovered the natural mechanism behind a novel form of cell death called ferroptosis. The work, described in the current issue of Cell, points ...

Obesity significantly increases the risk of developing certain types of cancer through several interacting biological factors ...

Stem cells hold immense therapeutic potential due to their self-renewal capacity and ability to differentiate into various cell types. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells derived ...

Like all forms of cancer, lung cancer is defined by uncontrolled cell division caused by loss of physiological tissue homeostasis and failure of apoptotic cell death mechanisms. Aberrant cell ...
