Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, ...

Enzymes are biomolecules that perform specialized functions, such as the assembly or degradation of small molecules. The small size of enzymes (tens of nanometres) previously limited their study to ...

Many leukemias are caused by loss of the enzyme Pten. Some anti-leukemia treatments work by inhibiting another enzyme called Shp2. Researchers have now found that mice lacking both of these enzymes ...

A subtle flaw in a single brain enzyme now looks like one of the earliest sparks that can set dementia in motion. Instead of ...

The study may help explain a phenomenon noticed by researchers and primary care physicians alike: adults in their 40s may eat less and exercise more, but not see the results in weight loss. The ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have provided the first direct evidence in mice for the role of an enzyme that specifically controls the production of serotonin in the ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless.

Liver enzymes can fluctuate due to factors like hormonal changes or reactions to medications. Fluctuations are often temporary, but long-term changes may indicate a condition that requires medical ...
