ALS is linked to toxic TDP-43 protein clumps. A new strategy targets a specific protein region. A small molecule, XL20, prevents clumping, reducing nerve damage in human cells. XL20 extended survival ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have discovered that SYCP1, a protein previously thought to function only during ...

In a paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from Technion and Tel Aviv University ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...

Protein quality control and signal transduction are essential to neural function, where precise modulation of protein ...

GLP-1 medications can make it harder to eat enough protein. Discover high-protein breakfast ideas that are filling, ...

If you eat protein bars daily, then you need to know how they can affect you. Here is how you can reduce your risk of ...

Some proteins in human cells that are implicated in cancer also have causal roles in neurodevelopmental disorders, raising the possibility of repurposing targeted cancer therapies to help address ...
