Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, which must be synthesized, deployed, and removed with ...

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

A research group at Umeå University has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors to ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

Structures called desmosomes connect cells to each other and transfer mechanical stress. They are especially important in tissues under continual mechanical stress, such as heart muscle (pictured).

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects disease and relays a defense signal to activate the second wave of immune ...

The microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract can have a significant influence on human health and disease, and this gut microbiome has been associated with a wide array of characteristics and ...
