An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...

For decades, scientists have known that a misbehaving protein sits at the heart of Parkinson’s disease, yet the precise chain ...

Protein arginylation is an evolutionarily conserved post‐translational modification whereby arginine is covalently attached to specific residues on target proteins. Mediated principally by the enzyme ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and ...

Cells operate on rules not vibes, including when on the precipice of persisting or perishing. Yet, with prior research ...

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why. It is increasingly clear, though, that the loss of synapses-the flexible and adaptive relay ...

Reducing RAD23A levels helped nerve cells better handle toxic TDP-43 protein clumps, improving survival and function in an ALS mouse model.

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.
