Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, which must be synthesized, deployed, and removed with ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Proteins are the 'workhorses' in every living cell and constitute the chemical basis of life. These little machines are required to turn food into energy, to manage motion and brain activities and to ...

Clumps and tangles of tau protein are associated with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, but tau protein also plays a role in healthy nerve cells. Healthy tau can assemble into an envelope ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have helped develop and characterize an artificial protein that triggers the same response in the human body as its natural counterpart—a breakthrough that not only has the ...

The biological function of the C-reactive protein, CRP, has long been unknown. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden now show that this protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus ...

A new study by researchers from North Carolina State University shows that protein sources in an animal’s diet can have major effects on both the population and function of the microscopic life within ...

It was the year protein was oversold, overvalued and overhyped. The science of protein has not changed; we just need to ...
