New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

In response to stress, the central nervous system of animals release blood glucose rapidly to cope potential threats. Classic theory posits that stress-induced glucose release is controlled by ...

Cells are not passive victims of stress, waiting for damage to accumulate before reacting. They are equipped with intricate early-warning systems that sense trouble long before a tissue fails or a ...
