A Goethe University-led study reveals how mutations in the SPRTN enzyme cause chronic inflammation and premature ageing. The research team found that damaged DNA in the cell nucleus leaks into the cytoplasm, activating defense mechanisms and leading to chronic inflammation.
Researchers have discovered that HSL plays an unexpected role in the nucleus of fat cells, helping maintain healthy adipose tissue. This new understanding challenges 60 years of certainty about fat metabolism and offers avenues for better understanding metabolic diseases such as obesity.
Researchers have discovered a new approach for treating proteinopathies by targeting dysregulated nuclear speckles, which can lead to neuron degeneration. Pyrvinium pamoate has been shown to improve proteostasis in various disease models, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and tauopathies.
Researchers have identified a key gene crucial for vitamin D uptake and metabolism, offering new avenues for precision medicine in cancer therapy and potential benefits for autoimmune diseases. Inhibiting this gene may selectively kill cancer cells while leaving healthy tissues unharmed.
A team of Chinese and UK researchers has identified superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) as a potential target for reversing drug resistance in ovarian cancer. By using nanoparticles to deliver siRNA that reduces SOD1 levels, the study showed reduced growth and decreased resistance to cisplatin in female mice.
International researchers led by Tokyo Medical and Dental University investigated the RSRSP stretch of the regulatory protein RBM20, finding it essential for nuclear localization and splicing regulation. The study suggests that phosphorylation of specific serine residues in this region is crucial for RBM20's function.
Recent research has shed light on the mechanisms underlying Wnt signaling in polarized cell divisions. The study reveals that Wnt signaling regulates cell fate and tissue organization by controlling the asymmetric division of stem cells.
