Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

Alzheimer’s disease has long looked like a slow-motion wildfire, starting in one part of the brain and then advancing along ...

The startup is developing a medicine that can very specifically degrade cancerous forms of EGFR, the target of several ...

For the first time, scientists have answered a longstanding question in cell biology about a partnership of proteins called ...

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

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

In 2009, Jonathan Weissman was hunting for a new way to spy on what happens inside a cell. In particular, the molecular cell biologist wanted to know what proteins are produced at any given moment. So ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Using AI, scientists have built a “GPS” for cancer-fighting immune cells. It’s a molecular navigation system that helped the cells lock onto cancer, kind of like Google Maps guiding travelers to a new ...

A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...
