Mashup Score: 5Key mechanism for maintaining proper telomere length identified - 3 month(s) ago
The length of telomeres that protect the ends of our chromosomes should be tightly regulated. Those that are too long predispose to cancer, and those that are too short lose their protective ability, resulting in telomere disorders with serious health consequences. Our cells prevent this excessive shortening by adding telomeric DNA to the ends of […]

Mashup Score: 17West Nile infections are spiking. Here’s why the percentage of severe cases is so small - News - 3 month(s) ago
An autoimmune condition makes certain people much more susceptible to West Nile virus and many other severe viral diseases. In the future, a screening process could reveal if you’re at risk.

Mashup Score: 25"Exhausted" immune cells may drive Alzheimer's - News - 1 year(s) ago
Mice reach the twilight of their lives at around age two, the rough equivalent of 80 in human years. And when researchers introduce specific mutations into mice and then age them up, the mice can grow forgetful and irritable—eventually exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s disease not unlike that of many elderly humans. Now, new research demonstrates […]

Svetlana Mojsov, a research associate professor at The Rockefeller University has spent decades researching how peptides and small proteins regulate our bodies’ processes. In the 1980s, she determined how a certain hormone, known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), triggers the pancreas to produce insulin. Her discovery opened up whole new therapeutic approach to hyperglycemia, ultimately […]

Her breakthrough research led to discovery of GLP1 and to drugs such as ozempic/wegovy- took forever for credit. Too often, women's contributions, even their published papers are sidelined- still goes on today! @sanginair @EBouhamida @FarahSheikhLab https://t.co/hKV7gUHA0c

In an NCI-supported study, researchers at @RockefellerUniv and @CUBoulder recently identified a key mechanism for maintaining proper length of telomeres, which are the ends of chromosomes 🧬 . https://t.co/Llzcj4eBZY
