Scientists uncover two neuronal circuits orchestrating muscle autophagy

Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear cellular waste and provide nutrients during stress. Autophagy is essential for muscles because they are constantly under mechanical stress. If autophagy is too

Key gut protein balances immune protection and tolerance

A protein produced by gut immune cells orchestrates both immune protection against pathogens and immune tolerance of gut bacteria, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The discovery illuminates the complex biology of the gut immune system and could le

Inhibiting a stress protein prevents the consequences of childhood trauma

A new study, co-led by Mathias Schmidt from the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich and Juan Pablo Lopez from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, focused on the FKBP5 gene and its encoded protein, FKBP51, a well-established regulator of the body's stress hormone system that

After amyloid plaques form, tau and alpha-synuclein pathology rises in mice

The aging brain frequently harbors multiple protein pathologies that contribute to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. But how do these problematic proteins interact with each other, and could these interactions inform future therapies? Researchers at T

Glycoprotein G unlocks genital herpes spread to nerves, revealing vaccine target

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a key protein that allows the virus that causes genital herpes to get into the nervous system. The discovery, made in experiments on mice, could pave the way for future vaccines against the disease. The study is publishe

Hidden pocket reveals new way to target prostate cancer's 'undruggable' ERG protein

In the United States, prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related disease and death in men. About half of prostate cancer cases in patients of European ancestry have a gene rearrangement in which the genes TMPRSS2 and ERG are fused together. This causes the ERG protein t

High fever could temporarily reduce malaria transmission

The fever experienced by people with malaria exposes parasites to high temperatures within blood cells. This heat can lead to the accumulation of damaged proteins inside the parasite and trigger protective mechanisms against thermal stress.

Inhibiting protein to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms shows preclinical promise

Inhibiting menin, a protein that supports leukemia growth and is already targeted to treat some forms of leukemia, also holds promise for treating myeloproliferative neoplasms. A new study from scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital showed that inhibiting menin signi

Demystifying the molecular mechanisms of general anesthesia

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Birkbeck, University of London, have identified a site where a commonly used anesthetic binds to sodium ion channels, revealing a molecular mechanism that may explain how these drugs dampen communication between neurons. Ion channels are
