A closer look at how local protein production is altered in ALS

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

Axonal protein synthesis defect identified as potential early driver in ALS progression

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

A molecular gatekeeper that controls protein synthesis

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 ...

Beef can stimulate muscle protein synthesis more effectively than plant-based proteins, says study

Protein consumption is vital to our muscles, as it stimulates the process of producing new muscle proteins, also called muscle protein synthesis. A new study suggests that this process is stimulated ...

New research demonstrates beef meals result in higher muscle protein synthesis rates than vegan meals

Long-standing research has shown that consuming dietary protein stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is a critical factor for building and maintaining skeletal muscle mass. Growing evidence has ...
