Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no longer needed are tagged and broken down by specialized cellular machinery.

A protein-level tension sensor reveals how cell shape and sarcomere maturity determine where cardiomyocytes carry mechanical ...

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. The discovery is of great interest for cancer medicine because a change of identity of cells has come into focus as a ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have identified a key molecule for establishing blood stem cells in their niche within the bone marrow. The findings, reported in the January ...

This process is costly, time-consuming, and has a low success rate. KAIST researchers have developed an AI model that, using only information about the target protein, can design optimal drug ...

In a new study, researchers have identified a way to stop cells from dying, opening the door to developing treatments that slow the progression of neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease ...

Scientific breakthroughs in one disease don't always shed light on treating other diseases. But that's been the surprising journey of one Mayo Clinic research team. After identifying a sugar molecule ...

Cancer’s deadliest talent is not rapid growth but the ability to sidestep the internal programs that should make damaged cells self-destruct. Across multiple labs, researchers are now converging on a ...

Researchers from a joint Skoltech and University of Sharjah laboratory and their collaborators from Paris Saclay University, France, have identified biomolecules whose levels in nerve tissue are ...

Self-assembling molecule for organic solar cells A research team from Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a donor-acceptor-donor molecule that can spontaneously self-assemble into nanoscale ...
