Proteins form the building blocks of life, but when they form unusual clumps inside the brain, they raise an alarm that ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Jia’s team developed a protocol to improve the screening of protein pockets. This involved identifying the pockets, removing ...

By extending a naturally rigid bacterial protein by 50% while preserving geometry and stability, the study introduces protein ...

Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body sense taste, control blood sugar and defend the gut.

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Researchers have now identified the molecular mechanism that triggers tendinopathy, paving the way for new and improved ...
