This valuable study identifies a protein called adenosine deaminase-related growth factor (ADGF) as a key regulator of tip formation in the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. The authors ...

For the Liu Lab, necessity is truly the mother of invention. The researchers were examining how the 3D organization of the ...

Nanobubbles (NBs) are tiny gas cavities with diameters around 200 nm that remain stable in solution due to their unique properties, including low buoyancy and negative surface charges. Ammonium ...

Proteins in cells are highly flexible and often exist in multiple conformations, each with unique abilities to bind ligands.

Researchers found that TEX38 and ZDHHC19 co-localize on the plasma membrane of spermatids and mediate S-palmitoylation of ARRDC5, a crucial protein for spermatogenesis. Disrupting either TEX38 or ...

Scientists have identified the 1N4R tau isoform as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease, paving the way for potential new ...

As well as degrading proteins, the proteosome surprisingly also functions in human defence against bacterial infection. By ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals.

Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...

RNA editing is a widespread post-transcriptional process contributing to greater cellular transcriptome ... which results in a proteome that is divergent from the genome1–4 and thus modulates the ...
