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

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

Let’s be real—most people think building muscle is all about lifting weights, but that’s only half the story. The ...

A protein engineering method using simple, cost-effective experiments and machine learning models can predict which proteins will be effective for a given purpose, according to a new study. 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 ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...
