Our immune system has various ways to deal with threats from the outside like pathogens. One of the defence mechanisms is a process called autophagy. 'You can imagine autophagy as the vacuum cleaner ...

Study shows how cells employ a universal strategy, reliant on TRIM21, to redirect its autophagy machinery to any harmful material tagged with antibodies.

Proteins classically associated with autophagy regulate the speed of intracellular transport. Scientists from the laboratory of Dr. Natalia Kononenko at the CECAD Center of Excellence in Aging ...

When viruses invade a plant, you might expect an all-out immune war. But new research published in Science shows that, much like in humans, too strong an immune response can actually do more harm than ...

Certain biological buzzwords spring out of relative scientific obscurity and lodge themselves in the popular consciousness — phrases like serotonin, ketosis, or probiotic. In some corners of the ...
