Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to be closed or chase down bacteria in the bloodstream. This mobility is ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

The image shows an α-synuclein oligomer (blue) partially inserted into a cell membrane (left). Over time, it forms a pore (right) that allows molecules to pass through for a short period. The oligomer ...

A protein notorious for its role in Alzheimer’s disease may hold the key to supercharging the aging immune system, according to new research. Scientists have found that a byproduct of amyloid-beta ...

A new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers one of the most comprehensive views yet of how brain cells interact in Alzheimer's disease, mapping protein networks that reveal ...

This work represents an important contribution to our understanding of how membrane energetics influence protein conformation and function in mechano-sensitive channels. Through extensive molecular ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) unveiled a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that shows striking efficacy against cancers that express the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) ...

Every day, billions of damaged or unnecessary cells die and are swept away by the immune system’s cleanup crew—phagocytes. But when that clearance falters, dangerous cells can linger, fueling cancer ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...

Consumers are no longer just asking for more protein – they are demanding it in smarter, cleaner and more diverse forms. With health, sustainability and taste driving the global protein market, food ...

Shimmering like spun gold, sea silk fabric is so lustrous that some believe it inspired the Greek legends of Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece. For centuries, artisans in the Mediterranean have ...
