To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

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 ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

A new active substance attacks a key protein in tumor cells, leading to complete degradation. In cell experiments, this caused cancer cells to lose their protection and die. The active substance was ...

Researchers have developed smart nanoparticles that can seek out and destroy disease-causing proteins the body can’t normally eliminate. Unlike traditional drugs, these particles can reach ...

A team of scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) has created a protein-based therapeutic tool that could change the way we treat diseases caused by ...
