Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...

When cells die or the body no longer needs them, phagocytic cells arrive to engulf them. This process relies upon the cells destined for destruction to express a protein that serves as an “eat me” ...

McMaster University researchers have discovered a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division—a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according to ...

After meals, the intestines use peristalsis to move food through the gut using coordinated contractions and relaxations of smooth muscle. Results from a new study in mice done by scientists at Harvard ...

A team of scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) has created a protein-based therapeutic tool that could change the way we treat diseases caused by ...

A study of 48 post-mortem brains found a protein that appears to protect brain cells from Alzheimer's — even in people who had significant amounts of amyloid plaques in their brains. Now a new insight ...
