Researchers have found a way to control protein levels inside different tissues of a whole, living animal for the first time.

When cells can’t destroy damaged proteins, a hidden backup system led by NRF1 steps in to prevent toxic buildup.

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 ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

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 ...

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 ...
