Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

A new study from Aarhus University shows that our cells' ability to clean out old protein clumps, known as aggregates, also includes a—up till now unknown—partnership with an engine that breaks down ...

McMaster University researchers have discovered a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging ...

Making proteins for research or therapies often starts with cell-line development. In many applications, genetic engineering is used to optimize a cell line for producing high levels of the intended ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...

Researchers recently discovered that a virus, FloV-SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed to make ribosomes, the central engines in all cells that translate genetic information into proteins, the ...

Keeping a qubit stable is difficult enough, even in an ideal environment. Now, researchers have figured out how to make a protein behave like a qubit in a living cell. Fluorescent proteins were used ...
