Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern ...

New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males. A McGill University-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

An international research team headed by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and the Center for ...

Drug developers have historically glued their attention to targeting the precise and fine-tuned protein structures underlying biological function. Yet this approach misses over 50% of the human ...

CCN proteins, a family of matricellular regulatory molecules, have emerged as pivotal modulators within the tumour microenvironment. Their functions extend beyond mere structural roles; they influence ...

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...

AHNAK, a colossal scaffolding protein of approximately 700 kDa, has emerged as a critical player in various cellular functions, most notably in the regulation of cell architecture, signalling and ...

In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have ...

Targeted drug delivery is a powerful and promising area of medicine. Therapies that pinpoint the exact areas of the body where they're needed - and nowhere they're not - can reduce the medicine dosage ...
