The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form ...

Johns Hopkins scientists reveal that “inactive” GluD brain proteins regulate neuronal communication and open up new ...

Intracellular peptides, generated predominantly via the ubiquitin–proteasome system, have emerged as critical modulators of cell signalling. These peptides play multifaceted roles, ranging from ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

Pretein design researcher Yulai Liu holds an enlarged 3D printed model from his team's efforts to design functioning calcium channels entirely from scratch. He is standing in David Baker's lab at the ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they had identified ...

An international research team has succeeded in deciphering a key mechanism that controls the growth of pancreatic cancers.

A new paper published today in Cell highlights how researchers have leveraged AI-based computational protein design to create a novel synthetic ligand that activates the Notch signaling pathway, a key ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...
