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 ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes—coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

Scientists identify a new and surprising function of a membrane protein on the surface of cancer cells: It supports and stabilizes an important 'co-stimulatory' factor that enhances the activation of ...

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) identify a new and surprising function of a membrane protein on the surface of cancer cells: It supports and stabilizes an important ...

Tardigrades, or water bears, are microscopic animals with incredible survival skills—they can withstand extreme temperatures and the vacuum of space. They can also tolerate high doses of radiation.

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 ...

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 ...
