Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and ...

Imagine if a simple blood test could offer a glimpse into your future health. Not just whether you have heart disease or ...

Scientists discovered that the protein RPA plays a critical and previously unconfirmed role in stimulating telomerase to ...

When blood cancer in children progresses particularly aggressively, it is often due to a genetic defect: a gene fusion, such ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilizing cell structure to catalyzing chemical reactions, ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

If you've ever accidentally sliced yourself on a broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can be hard to stop. Scientists have long wondered how the cascade of events ...
