While more data is needed, it is possible that “reversing chronic stress may be a viable therapeutic avenue to prevent neurodegeneration and should be a focus of future efforts to promote the ...

To uncover the molecular basis of this epigenetic regulation, the researchers next examined the underlying mechanism. They showed that cold stress downregulated the expression of DNA ...

On a traditional cold-brew maker, the process is remarkably simple: Grind beans coarsely, put them in water, leave the mixture out on the counter or in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours, and wait. To ...

How does chronic stress rewire the brain? In a stressful situation, the brain reacts as if there were a physical attack on the body and activates the “fight or flight” response. This ancient survival ...

“We found that in as little as four days, cold water plunges can reduce cellular stress and increase a cellular protective mechanism called autophagy,” says lead study author Kelli King, PhD ...

The science behind cold exposure benefits The physiological effects of cold exposure stem primarily from the body’s adaptive responses to temperature stress. When skin thermoreceptors detect ...

The major spliceosome consists of five subunits, U1, U2, U4, U6, and U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs, read "snurps") – and about 150 proteins, involved in different stages ...

The major spliceosome is abundant in cells and has been extensively investigated for more than four decades. Its long-separated twin – the minor spliceosome, is much more scarce and remains enigmatic, ...
