In recent years, mammalian synthetic biology has made significant strides, especially in controlling gene expression and designing complex cellular behaviors. Researchers have now begun to apply these ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the maintenance of intracellular iron distribution. Disruption of this process was found to ...

If you're aiming to build muscles, your diet should have high-protein foods. They supply essential amino acids that are ...

A comprehensive mini-review published today after peer review in Brain Medicine by Dr. Tao Ma and colleagues at Wake Forest University School of Medicine synthesizes emerging evidence that two ...

Aging is inevitable, but how quickly visible aging shows up—especially in the skin—is influenced by far more than birthdays ...
