A protein that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another ...

Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

A new tool enables biomedical researchers from around the world to quickly see the connections between lipids and proteins inside cells, thanks to a new initiative led by scientists at Oregon Health & ...

Saint Louis University’s Protein Core is a shared-use core facility that supports expression, purification and analysis of reagent and preclinical proteins. The core provides instrumentation and ...

How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

Sometimes, life can be a real drag—especially if you’re a protein weighed down by unwanted baggage. Researchers have unveiled evidence that these ponderous proteins could be involved in a range of ...

Scientists may have figured out a brand new way to treat lung cancer by using a protein that inhibits tumor growth. This previously unknown molecule pathway could help researchers develop personalized ...

A person standing on a ladder in a building hallway examining what might be a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide detectors are common and effective, yet the poisonous gas still kills tens of ...

Researchers are testing a fundamentally different strategy against neurodegenerative disease: instead of clearing protein deposits after they form, new experimental therapies aim to stop toxic protein ...
