EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death involved in aging and several diseases. Subscribe to our ...

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common type of cancer in the urinary system. Currently, the first-line treatments for advanced or metastatic ccRCC are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); ...

A new study has pinpointed how the APOE4 gene variant sabotages the brain’s energy balance, blocking neurons from burning fat for fuel when glucose runs low, a discovery that could reveal new ways to ...
