The amount of any given protein in a cell has to be controlled to keep its levels within a range required for healthy functions. This is especially important for proteins that are known to group ...

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 ...

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

Every day, billions of damaged or unnecessary cells die and are swept away by the immune system’s cleanup crew—phagocytes. But when that clearance falters, dangerous cells can linger, fueling cancer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked protein that helps regulate appetite and energy use in the body. This ...

The emergence of cancer drug resistance remains one of the most pressing problems in cancer care and there is a critical need to devise approaches to mitigate it. However, the molecular mechanisms ...
