Lungs; For the first time, researchers have mapped the building blocks of the human lungs and airways, in both asthma patients and normal people. The research from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University Medical Center Groningen, Open Targets, GSK and collaborators reveal the identity of each cell type, creating the first draft Human Cell Atlas of…
Consuming protein may benefit people hoping to lose weight or build muscle mass; the study finding that protein intake may also be associating with the slower progression of age-relating inflammation. Finding that adults around 60 years old; diets on average including adequate protein and in particular protein from plants showing fewer signs of inflammaging. Inflammaging…
Protein; For the first time, Bernese researchers have been able to solve the structure of a transport protein; and thus to describe the functional mechanism that plays a significant role in the survival of cancer cells. This is an important step towards developing effective inhibitors to fight tumor growth. Certain cancer cells depend on exporting the…
Ponderosa longevity might hinge on the shape of microscopic valve like structures between the cells that transport water through the tree; The researchers sampled growth rates of ponderosa pine trees of varying ages at two remote sites. Research studying the structural traits of the trees xylem vascular tissue; that transports water and minerals through the…
Inhaling Air pollution significantly increases the risk for premature deaths, particularly in people with underlying cardiovascular disease, clinical and epidemiological studies have determined.
