Pancreas cells may produce a protein that can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with Alzheimer's disease, a peptide known as amyloid-β accumulates and forms tangled plaques.

Ramakrishnan, a distinguished structural biologist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2009), is renowned for his groundbreaking ...

Despite all of today’s options for optimizing the bioprocessing of fungal secondary metabolites, researchers pointed out the ...

In the process, they discovered the role of an enzyme, a special E3 ligase that joins a small protein modification called UFM1 to the large ribosomal subunit, as a key mechanism of recycling.

Specifically, ribosomal "junk" proteins, produced when things go wrong inside the nucleolus. "[Nucleolar stress causes cells to] reduce their capacity to produce new proteins," lead researcher ...
