University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

Using a novel method that gives a readout of which proteins are in specific locations within cells, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in cell ...

For decades, the story of Alzheimer's research has been dominated by a battle between A-beta and tau amyloids, both of which can kill neurons and impact the brain's ability to function. A new study ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Cells do this by breaking proteins down and recycling them, a process summarily referred to as "protein removal." But this ongoing and vital "dance" of protein making and protein removal takes energy ...

A protein notorious for its role in Alzheimer’s disease may hold the key to supercharging the aging immune system, according to new research. Scientists have found that a byproduct of amyloid-beta ...

The host cell system is a critical determinant of recombinant protein quality and yield, with direct influence on protein folding and post-translational modification factors that shape the ...
