Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...

Inside every cell, a cleanup operation runs around the clock. Proteins are constantly damaged by wear and tear. Some can be repaired, while others must be dismantled and recycled. When this system ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unknown system inside cells that works like internal “trade winds,” rapidly carrying essential proteins to the cell’s ...

An innovative gene-editing strategy could establish a new way for the body to manufacture therapeutic proteins—including ...

The key to reversing cellular aging may lie in a protein responsible for toggling cells between a "young" and an "old" state. This is the conclusion of researchers from the University of Osaka, who ...

Nanomedicine prompts RNA to make protein-based drugs to treat diseases. Now we can fine-tune protein production by dialling ...

A research team revealed that microplastics introduced into the body may bind to proteins in vivo, disrupt the function of brain cells, and act as neurotoxicants. Based on proteomics analysis, the ...
