Recent research has identified novel molecular mechanisms by which genetic mutations in the PKD2 gene cause the most common ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

Scientists have discovered a previously unrecognized way that human airways protect lungs from infection—through the action of cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract.

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

Research by the University of Cambridge and University of Strathclyde reveals that cilia in the respiratory tract generate ...

An overactive LRRK2 enzyme causes cells to lose their primary cilia, a cellular appendage that acts like an antenna, sending ...

An international team of researchers, led by the University of Exeter, have been awarded a Wellcome Discovery Award grant of ...

Inhibiting an overabundant enzyme saved a key component of a brain signaling pathway that is vital for motor control in a ...

A new study from Stanford Medicine has found that stopping an overactive enzyme in the brain might help protect and even ...
