It is the discovery that mitochondria the organelles we were taught only make energy encode their own tiny signaling peptides that travel the body and influence aging, metabolism, and brain function
These results suggest that reduced homocysteine causes protein thiol homocysteinylation that may induce smooth muscle cell proliferation by binding to a redox receptor and that may exacerbate atherosclerotic lesion formation by inducing collagen expression (Tyagi, 1998)
This pentadecapeptide demonstrates resistance to degradation in gastric juice, a property that distinguishes it from many therapeutic peptides that require modified administration routes to avoid gastric inactivation
Overall, selenium from Brazil nuts acts as a powerful protector of the thyroid and regulates the production of reactive oxygen within the gland, and it protects the body from antibodies that can create thyroid disease
Diverse macrophage populations mediate acute lung inflammation and resolution
Iron overload induces ferroptosis by activating Piezo1, a pressure-sensitive calcium channel in chondrocytes, leading to subsequent calcium inflow, which could be exacerbated by conditional GPX4 knockout in cartilage
