Maestros of healing: How 'good' immune cells help regenerate spinal cord injuries

Humans cannot fully heal spinal cord injuries. When the spinal cord is damaged, the body's immune system often spirals into chaos. This overwhelming inflammatory response creates permanent scar tissue that stops nerve cells from ever repairing themselves or their connections. Zeb

'Enchanted broomstick' protein walks on two stubby legs to keep our nerve cells alive

A nerve cell resembles a vast tree with branches that communicate with thousands of other cells. To function, it depends on a motor protein that walks on two legs, hauling urgent cargo from the center of the cell to the faraway tips of every branch. Scientists have unveiled a new

Scientists explain how nucleolus sub-compartments drive ribosome assembly

The nucleolus is a liquid-like cellular organelle where protein factories called ribosomes are assembled. Researchers knew of three distinct compartments within the nucleolus, but how these compartments function to drive ribosome assembly was unclear. A study from St. Jude Childr

Fertility proteins flip from reproductive role to support survival and growth of cancer ce

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have discovered that SYCP1, a protein previously thought to function only during the production of sperm and eggs, can be reactivated in cancer cells, where it helps tumors survive and grow. The study, published in Science Advances, reve
