The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Reining in protein production could have therapeutic effects on bladder tumors, according to new work published today in the journal JCI Insight. “This is the first time that it’s been shown that ...

Cell-free protein synthesis is a laboratory technique that produces recombinant proteins in solution without involving any cells. This is a rapid procedure allowing researchers to generate a protein ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

NEW ORLEANS — Building muscle, nine essential amino acids (EAA) at a time, is the driving force behind muscle protein synthesis (MPS) – overcoming the normal effects of muscle protein breakdown (MPB) ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis mechanism of probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). These mutant ...

A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...
