A new technique has been developed that may offer a pathway towards treating certain “undruggable” diseases like Alzheimer’s. Currently, small-molecule drugs are unable to interfere…
According to the researchers, this new technology has the potential to surpass directed evolution and could energize the field of protein engineering by hastening the…
The researchers discovered that PDGF-B enhances not only muscle growth but also strengthens them. Myokine has been demonstrated to enhance both the growth of myoblasts…
An illustration depicts a study by SLAC and Stanford, including cryo-EM imaging (left), that discovered how a cellular machine called TRiC (right) directs the folding…
Hip fractures are a common and serious injury that can occur in both men and women, but they are more common and have a higher…
The research found a strong indication that the BTNL9 protein helps cells in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. The finding demonstrates how vital it is to ensure…
Adjacent comb plates wave semi-synchronously. Credit: University of Tsukuba University of Tsukuba researchers discover a protein that controls the unique movement of comb jellies. The…
The study also shed light on how photosynthesis adapted to the rise of oxygen. Back to the future of photosynthesis. Rubisco, the central biocatalyst in…
People with Alzheimer’s disease have misfolded and improperly structured tau proteins in their brains. Tauopathies: the protein that provides hope. A mechanism has been discovered…
The gene that the scientists uncovered makes sure that actin’s, a major component of our cell skeleton, final form is produced. The gene matures the…
The protein that controls cell growth in yeasts. Because humans and yeasts have surprisingly comparable cellular mechanisms, identifying the differences will provide drug developers with…
The protein could potentially predict future cancer death and diabetes risk. A Swedish investigation of nearly 4,000 individuals over 22 years found that those with…
MIT researchers used a technique called dot-plot matrix, which is a way to visually represent amino acid sequences, to compare protein sequences known as “low-complexity…
The study discovered that a plant immune protein enables a broad anti-tumor response. A new Peking University cancer breakthrough. Cancer is one of the major…
Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that causes unintentional or uncontrolled movements including trembling, stiffness, and issues with balance and coordination. Scientists take the next step…
Inheritance, as it pertains to genetics, refers to a trait or variants encoded in DNA and transferred from parent to child during reproduction. The discovery…
A new study calls into question the dogma behind Alzheimer’s drug trials. The study discovered that as Alzheimer’s disease progresses, brain levels of enzymes that…
The loss of the protein pigment epithelium-derived factor, the study discovered, is a driver of aging-related changes in the retina. Mice without a protective protein in…
The researchers have identified a protein that is activated in cancer cells. They hope that this discovery could lead to new treatments for cancer. A…
