A molecule that blocks cell death could mean treatments for Parkinson's and other degenerative diseasesDepositphotosA new study has uncovered a method to prevent cell death, potentially paving the way for treatments that could slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s.Apoptosis, the body’s ancient “cell suicide” mechanism, is controlled by interactions within the...
Credit: DepositphotosA recent Science study shows that the synthetic molecule CPMAC, developed through an international collaboration with KAUST, significantly boosts the energy efficiency and lifespan of perovskite solar cells.CPMAC is an ionic salt derived from buckminsterfullerene (C60), a carbon-based material with 60 atoms. While C60 has helped achieve record energy efficiencies in perovskite solar...
A new molecule called A485 has been found to boost levels of white blood cells, which can help clear out infectionsDepositphotosWhite blood cells play a crucial role as immune system defenders, but their levels can be diminished by health conditions or treatments such as chemotherapy. Researchers at Yale have identified a molecule that, when...
