Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For ...

Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy that leverages the immune system to combat diseases, ...

Origami is collaborating with Ipsen to develop molecules designed to remove or correct abnormal proteins in neurodegenerative diseases.

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

A protein notorious for its role in Alzheimer’s disease may hold the key to supercharging the aging immune system, according to new research. Scientists have found that a byproduct of amyloid-beta ...

A protein-level tension sensor reveals how cell shape and sarcomere maturity determine where cardiomyocytes carry mechanical ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms.

Amyloid proteins are typically considered bad guys, but researchers been investigating whether a version may be key to ...
