Intracellular peptides, generated predominantly via the ubiquitin–proteasome system, have emerged as critical modulators of cell signalling. These peptides play multifaceted roles, ranging from ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form ...

Pretein design researcher Yulai Liu holds an enlarged 3D printed model from his team's efforts to design functioning calcium channels entirely from scratch. He is standing in David Baker's lab at the ...

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

A team of researchers at RPI, in collaboration with the University of South Florida, University of North Carolina, and The ...

A new study has identified specific cellular machinery that helps brain cells dispose of toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. By screening thousands of genes in lab-grown human neurons, ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it ...

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Up to 20% of hormone receptor-positive breast cancers don't respond to antiestrogen therapies. A study led by researchers at ...

New discovery shows bone marrow stem cells have pressure sensors that decide between building bone or storing fat.

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those ...
