Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole ...

The Abu-Remaileh Lab published an atlas of proteins, found in lysosomes across different brain cell types, to advance research on neurodegenerative diseases.

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors. This approach could ...

Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses the evolution of biological concepts related to DNA and protein structures ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A protein’s life is anything but simple. Discover how transcription, translation, folding, modification, and degradation work together to preserve proteome integrity.

Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory structures responsible for converting sound into brain signals. The discovery ...
