Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

As we age, our immune system quietly loses its edge, and scientists have uncovered a surprising reason why. A protein called ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...

Cells experience many different types of stress, such as starvation or stress caused by too much salt or too high a ...

A protein notorious for its role in Alzheimer’s disease may hold the key to supercharging the aging immune system, according to new research. Scientists have found that a byproduct of amyloid-beta ...

Tissue processing advance can label proteins at the level of individual cells across whole, intact rodent brains and other large samples just as fast and uniformly as in dissociated single cells. A ...

No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that direction: They have equipped artificial cells with tiny motors inspired ...

It's known as biology's central dogma: All living organisms' genetic information is stored in DNA, which is transcribed into RNA, which is translated into proteins that perform nearly all essential ...

Cholera, a severe bacterial infection that causes diarrhea and kills if untreated, can be defeated with a diet high in ...
