Scientists have completed a deep analysis of the proteins driving cancer across multiple tumor types, information that can't be assessed by genome sequencing alone. Understanding how proteins operate ...

For decades, the story of Alzheimer's research has been dominated by a battle between A-beta and tau amyloids, both of which can kill neurons and impact the brain's ability to function. A new study ...

Short-lived proteins control gene expression in cells to carry out a number of vital tasks, from helping the brain form connections to helping the body mount an immune defense. These proteins are made ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which cells break down proteins that are no longer needed. These proteins are short-lived and modulate genes that support important neural, ...

With a five-year survival rate of less than 5%, glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer.

The amount of any given protein in a cell has to be controlled to keep its levels within a range required for healthy functions. This is especially important for proteins that are known to group ...

Antisera were raised to the 210,000-dalton and the 49,000-dalton proteins of a fraction enriched in intermediate (10 nm) filaments from human brain. Proteins of the filament preparation were separated ...

At this stage, known as gastrulation, a flat and featureless sheet of cells folds into a living blueprint for the body, a ...

Protein powders have become a staple in fitness routines and daily diets, but not all powders are created equal. Recent ...
