Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, ...

Bioengineers developed a road map for the protein-protein interactions that give rise to gas vesicles, naturally occurring nanobubbles with potential use in biomedical applications. As far as water ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

Bacteria fend off invading viruses with molecular scissors that slice up viral DNA — a system called CRISPR that holds immense promise for gene editing therapies. But viruses can fight back with a ...

Proteins are critical to life—and to industry. There are countless proteins that could be engineered to treat and even cure serious diseases and cellular dysfunctions. Industrial applications are ...

Beta-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, have caused global health problems. How the virus infects host cells and triggers immunological responses has been investigated extensively. However, how the ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 8, 2025) Stress granules are droplet-like protein hubs that temporarily shield fragile RNA from cellular stresses such as toxins. VCP is a protein essential for breaking up ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

Real-time and in-line accurate measuring of protein (monoclonal antibody, or mAb) concentration has been shown across a wide dynamic range (0–135 g/L) through the ...

Postdoctoral researcher Urmila Sehrawat discusses her work at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on translational machinery and novel cancer therapeutics.
