Dual protein analysis approach provides potential way to slow cancer growth
Fighting cancer effectively often involves stopping cancer cells from multiplying, which requires understanding proteins that the cells rely on to survive. Protein profiling plays a critical role in this process by helping researchers identify protei.....»»
Using machine learning to speed up simulations of irregularly shaped particles
Simulating particles is a relatively simple task when those particles are spherical. In the real world, however, most particles are not perfect spheres, but take on irregular and varying shapes and sizes. Simulating these particles becomes a much mor.....»»
Dissecting caspase-2-mediated cell death: From intrinsic PIDDosome activation to chemical modulation
Caspase-2, an initiator caspase, plays a critical role in programmed cell death in response to certain cellular stresses. Its activation is facilitated by the PIDDosome, a multi-protein complex that assembles under conditions of genotoxic stress. Des.....»»
Discovery of a hidden epigenetic clock in mitochondria reveals a "lifespan limit line"
Building on their work on epigenetics of aging and transposable elements, researchers Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai from Eötvös Loránd University have made another advance in understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging. Their latest st.....»»
SonicWall patches critical flaw affecting its firewalls (CVE-2024-40766)
SonicWall has patched a critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-40766) in its next-gen firewalls that could allow remote attackers unauthorized access to resources and, in specific conditions, to crash the appliances. About CVE-2024-40766 CVE-2024-40766 is.....»»
