Watch nowDuring exposure to temperature extremes or hypoxia (low oxygen levels), cells increase their expression of heat shock proteins to stabilize unfolded proteins and repair damaged ones. This phenomenon, referred to as the heat shock response, occurs at the expense of other cellular proteins to protect the cell. Evidence from a 2016 study suggests that the heat shock response enhances athletic performance in low-oxygen environments characteristic of high altitudes. The study involved 21 elite cyclists who engaged in ten 60-minute training sessions in either low-oxygen or hot conditions. Before an... exercise performance heat stress cold stress hypoxia
Read moreA new study shows that resistance exercise helps the body's cells identify and eliminate misfolded proteins – key players in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases. The study involved 30 older adults who engaged in an eight-week resistance training program in which they exercised twice a week. Before and after the exercise intervention, researchers measured changes in the number of key proteins in the participants' blood involved in inflammation, aging, and cellular stress responses. They also measured levels of IRE1, a pro... exercise inflammation
Read moreNutrient sensing – a cell's capacity to recognize and respond to fuel sources – plays a critical role in human health, ultimately influencing the aging process and susceptibility to age-related disease. Findings from a recent study suggest that dietary interventions exert powerful effects on proteins produced in the liver, fundamentally "reprogramming" nutrient-sensing pathways. Multiple studies have investigated the possibility that dietary strategies or drugs can alter nutrient-sensing pathways to improve metabolic health and extend lifespan. For example, robust evidence indicates that inter... diet aging metformin
Read morePeripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate following trauma, surgery, and exposure to medications and toxins; however, the rate of regeneration is often very slow. The molecular signals that encourage regeneration dissipate over time so that regeneration ends too soon to effectively heal long nerves. Authors of a new report elucidate the role of monocarboxylate transporters and macrophage metabolism is promoting nerve regeneration. Macrophages (Greek for "large eaters") are white blood cells that remove pathogens and cellular debris by engulfing and digesting them, making macrophages ess... immune system lactate

Watch nowFTA: > The first mouse model that faithfully reproduces the steps of human HCC development has been developed by researchers. The results of the study indicate that diets rich in nicotinamide riboside, a derivative of vitamin B3, protect these mice from developing HCC in its most initial stage, when genotoxic stress is damaging cellular DNA. They also show a curative effect of the diet in those mice that had previously developed the disease. ... nutrition cancer diet vitamin a
