After a heart attack, the heart needs new blood vessels to heal and work better. But the low-oxygen environment after a heart attack makes it hard for these new vessels to form. ATF4 is a protein that might help with this process. Scientists did some experiments to see how ATF4 works. They used cells in a lab and mice to study what happens after a heart attack. They...
In the world of tiny molecules, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are like secret bosses. They don't make proteins, but they control many important jobs in our cells. One of these bosses, TMEM9B-AS1, has been found to be less active in the muscles of people with type 2 diabetes and muscle loss. This is a big deal because it might be a key player in muscle health. Scient...
Long COVID-19 is more than just a physical struggle. It's also taking a toll on the brain. Many people are facing neuropsychiatric symptoms. These include things like memory problems, mood swings, and even neurodegenerative disorders. But what's causing these issues? Researchers are looking into the hippocampus.

But here's something interesting: scientists are now looking into how a process called ferroptosis might play a role in BP. Ferroptosis is a type of cell death that involves iron. It's differ...
In a fascinating study, researchers dug into a peculiar dental condition that spans five generations of a family. This condition is not your average tooth trouble. It's a mix of teeth present at birth, missing teeth, and oddly shaped roots. Teeth at birth, known as natal teeth, are already rare, but having multiple natal teeth is even more uncommon. The team aimed t...
The immune system and man-made materials work together in a big way to help heal broken bones. Calcium phosphate (CaP) materials, like hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate, are often used as bone replacements. They are good at helping new bone grow, but scientists are still figuring out how to make them even better. One big problem is that these materials don't...
Exercise has long been known to benefit the brain, especially in those with Alzheimer's disease. But how exactly does it work? Recent studies have shed some light on this mystery. They found that physical activity can change how certain brain cells work. These changes might help protect memory. The brain has many types of cells, and exercise seems to affect two type...
Duck plague virus (DPV) is a nasty piece of work. It belongs to the herpesvirus family and can cause serious sickness and even death in ducks. It's known for causing a severe blood infection that affects many organs. One part of the virus, called gG, is a protein that doesn't help the virus reproduce but plays a big role in making the virus so dangerous. The gG prot...
