Researchers from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB) have described a new mechanism ...

Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9—DPP8/9 for short.

New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 -- a key enzyme in lipid metabolism -- accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that kills more than a million people worldwide every year. The pathogen that ...

Recently, Professor Frédéric Veyrier at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and his team developed a new genetic tool based on a family of specific enzymes called Ssn that allows ...

A new wave of scientific interest is spotlighting GOT2—glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2—as a compelling therapeutic target ...

Enzymes catalyze nearly all of the chemical reactions that occur in biological systems. Enzymes are generally proteins but also include catalytic DNA and catalytic RNA. As effective biological ...

Feb. 3, 2025 — Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) -- commonly known as bad cholesterol -- have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor to heart disease. But these microscopic ...

Elevated liver enzymes can occur for many reasons. Most often, elevated liver enzymes are temporary and resolve on their own without treatment. Occasionally, elevated liver enzymes require additional ...
