Inside every cell, a cleanup operation runs around the clock. Proteins are constantly damaged by wear and tear. Some can be repaired, while others must be dismantled and recycled. When this system ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

A long-standing mystery in cancer treatment is how tumor cells so often become resistant to drugs, even ones they have never encountered before.

Scientists have discovered a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, forcing the cells to rewire how they generate energy. This shift makes them more powerful ...

A protein that helps cancer cells hide from the immune system may have a critical weakness, according to research that could ...

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...

An international team led by researchers at QUT has used artificial intelligence to create tiny "smart" proteins that switch ...

Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the ...

New research suggests that tubulin may help prevent the toxic protein clumps associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

VUB Center for Structural Biology have uncovered a counterintuitive principle that could reshape how membrane proteins are designed from scratch: sometimes, making a protein less stable helps it fold ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...
