The glucose-regulated protein 78 kDa (known as GRP78) is emerging as a target for cancer therapy and a biomarker for cancer prognosis. It is usually produced in greater quantities in cells that are under stress conditions. In many types of cancers, GRP78 protein has been observed to be produced in abnormally large quantities and it tends...

SSB1: Is there a way to delay the aging process, reverse DNA damage, and prevent cancer by restoring a natural protein in the body or turning it off?
To understand what therapeutics could benefit aging and DNA damage, we have to consider what molecules are involved. So, what do we know about this process? There are a number of factors that are involved in the aging process. Many things such as diet, lifestyle, medication, genetics, diseases, amongst countless others, are involved. However, in...
