Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...

Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) make up about 30 percent of our proteome. They are important to many fundamental aspects of biology and disrupted in disease. Since they lack a stable shape, ...

If you've ever accidentally sliced yourself on a broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can be hard to stop. Scientists have long wondered how the cascade of events ...

New antivirals and vaccines could follow the discovery by Australian researchers of strategies used by viruses to control our ...

Researchers have managed to modify a class of proteins to give them the ability to transport and store electricity. These ...

These sugar chains, called glycans, are attached after proteins are made, forming the process known as glycosylation. Glycosylation has been studied in terms of how it impacts cancer development and, ...

Texas A&M researchers found that in an aggressive kidney cancer, RNA builds “droplet hubs” that activate tumor genes. By creating a molecular switch to dissolve these hubs, they stopped cancer growth ...
