Membrane protein targeting and insertion is a fundamental process in cellular biology that ensures proteins are correctly delivered to, and integrated within, the lipid bilayer. Proteins destined for ...

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

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is transforming drug discovery by leveraging the cell’s natural protein disposal systems to eliminate disease-causing proteins. Innovators are making rapid and ...

Chronic inflammation occurs when the immune system is stuck in attack-mode, sending cell after cell to defend and repair the body for months or even years. Diseases associated with chronic ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Deleting a gene cluster in wheat leads to a new seed variety that could be less harmful to individuals with celiac disease. Researchers from the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Researchers have identified a single protein whose absence can cripple tumors in mice, slowing their growth and in some cases ...
