They observe how a Parkinson's protein pierces neuronal membranes, revealing a gradual attack that could open up new ...

Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

Researchers in a recent breakthrough have identified hidden enzyme mutation behind the cases of dementia, thereby leading to ...

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes ...

Cell death triggered by GPX4 loss was slowed in cell cultures and in mouse model using compounds that specifically inhibit ferroptosis.

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Why do nerve cells die in dementia - and can this process be slowed down? Researchers from the Technical University of Munich ...

Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, providing the first molecular ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ...

Researchers have identified how a single mutation in the GPX4 enzyme causes neurons to undergo ferroptosis, leading to severe early-onset dementia.
