In the intricate regulation of inflammation, metabolic reprogramming and posttranslational modification (PTM) have emerged as pivotal players, offering new avenues for understanding the fine-tuned ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

The lab of Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., at The Wistar Institute has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how aggressive brain cancers reprogram immune system cells from fighting cancer to enabling ...

How strongly does our metabolism influence thinking? This question has been examined by Dr. Philipp Haueis, a philosopher of science at Bielefeld University, in a recent publication in the journal ...

The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general ...

Digestive tract tumors are malignant diseases characterized by high aggressiveness, heterogeneity and metabolic abnormalities. Heterogeneity and drug resistance among tumors pose a serious challenge ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...
