In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

A new tool developed by Helmholtz Munich and the German Center for Diabetes Research and the University of Bonn makes spatial ...

At European XFEL, researchers have observed in detail how the vital iron protein ferritin makes its way in highly dense ...

In 2009, Jonathan Weissman was hunting for a new way to spy on what happens inside a cell. In particular, the molecular cell biologist wanted to know what proteins are produced at any given moment. So ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell’s damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment, to know when to activate genes, build proteins, and carry out their ...

Biological cells process data and perform computations all the time. They take inputs in the form of external stimuli and produce specific responses. Recently, scientists have been looking at ways to ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

Researchers discovered that raising the protein Sox9 can help the brain’s astrocytes clear out toxic plaque buildup linked to ...

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 ...
