Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

Scientists have long been trying to tease apart hepatitis A virus, to understand its inner workings and how it functions in the human body. Infectious disease researchers have discovered that a little ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

A mini-review in Brain Medicine examines the distinct and often opposing roles of AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 isoforms in Alzheimer's ...

Chronic diseases such as diabetes are on the rise and are costly and challenging to treat. Scientists have discovered a common denominator driving these diverse diseases, which may prove to be a ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a form of inflammatory programmed cell death called necroptosis. Their ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Researchers created a new kind of cancer drug that can grab a mutant protein while also carrying a second hit against the ...
