The mechanisms underlying skin renewal are still poorly understood. Interleukin-38 (IL-38), a protein involved in regulating inflammatory responses, could be a game changer. A team from the ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

A technological breakthrough by medical researchers at Tel Aviv University enabled the discovery of a cancer mechanism that prevents the immune system from attacking tumors. The researchers were ...

Chronic lung allograft dysfunction remains the main obstacle to long-term survival, and further research into its mechanisms and multicenter clinical trials of preventive and therapeutic ...

However, until now, the precise mechanism of exactly how this tool works and avoids creating detrimental off-target effects was not well understood. Now, using state-of-the-art technology ...
