The Bcl-2 family of proteins, known for their crucial role in regulating apoptosis, present an intriguing opportunity for advancing cancer immunotherapy. Recent studies have highlighted their ...

Dps proteins (DNA-binding proteins from starved cells) are vital components in the defence strategies of bacteria facing environmental stress. These proteins not only bind and compact chromosomal DNA, ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Over the past decade, cancer treatment has undergone a major transformation, from traditional, broadly acting therapies like cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation to more precise and targeted ...

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affect ...

Professor Heide Ford, the University of Colorado Medicine Endowed Chair in Pharmacology, gave a presentation Wednesday on her lab’s research into the role of proteins in cancer growth and spread at ...

Normally, Tau proteins stabilize microtubules and support neuronal function, but in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, they undergo abnormal changes that lead to aggregation and the ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have uncovered a surprising new way to influence brain activity by targeting a long-mysterious class of proteins linked to anxiety, schizophrenia, and movement disorders.

Microglia are the brain's immune cells that clean out debris, such as damaged proteins and old cell parts, to keep the organ ...
