A moving cell looks simple from a distance. One edge pushes forward, the rest follows, and the whole thing creeps along as if ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

Understanding how proteins interact with their own mirror images enabled a Kobe University research team to design a small ...

Can mirror proteins cure Alzheimer's? Scientists used "right-handed" amino acids to trap amyloid-beta proteins. This breakthrough in molecular recognition offers a new way to target "undruggable" ...

Immunotherapy has been one of the most transformative treatments for cancer patients in recent decades, shifting the emphasis ...

In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have ...

A new CAR T-cell therapy attacks supportive cells in the tumor microenvironment that bear the surface protein, uPAR.

A paper published 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 driver in ...

In A Nutshell Your sense of cold comes from a single protein, TRPM8, which opens in response to cool temperatures and menthol. New research shows this protein doesn’t just “switch on” but actually ...
