Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that ...

In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific ...

MIT scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells ...

Malaria parasites undergo an extensive metamorphosis after invasion of erythrocytes. This induces an increase in the surface ...

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.
