Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

Rosa Chiara Paolicelli's team at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of Unil uncovered a new role for the TDP-43 protein in ...

In genetics, one harmful variant can be enough to cause disease—but two can make it far more severe. One notable example is KJ, an infant diagnosed with a rare urea cycle disorder with a grim ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many human diseases, including cancers. However, how molecular machines—protein ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...

A new review was published in Volume 13 of Oncoscience on May 22, 2026, titled "Adaptor proteins regulating tumor-associated macrophage polarization during cancer progression." ...

For decades, the commercial distribution of protein powders and creatine monohydrate targeted a narrow demographic: strength ...

Inspired by the simple mechanism of a seesaw—when one side goes up, the other side goes down—researchers asked an intriguing question: Could a single molecule switch between two different roles like a ...
