By forming oscillating patterns between the ends of a cell (poles), the Min protein system provides protection against ...

The human body and its organs are composed of a wide variety of cell types. Although all cells contain the same genes, they ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA’s environment, researchers have discovered that DNA behaves differently ...

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.

In ALS, poorly soluble protein aggregates accumulate ... Müller from the Institute of Biochemistry II at Goethe University exposed cells to stress, for example by increasing the temperature ...

In Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and type 2 diabetes, harmful protein aggregates and deposits, known as amyloid plaques, develop.

In this webinar, Stefano Maffini will share multidisciplinary methods for dissecting mitotic molecular mechanisms.

Professor Emeritus Herb Boyer's discovery of recombinant DNA changed medicine, ushering in a new era in biological treatments ...

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly ...

An elegant screening strategy unveils a molecular actor that connects widespread changes in mRNA processing with a nutrient-sensing protein modification.

Scientists have bred spiders that weave red draglines, proving that the animals’ silk can be genetically re-engineered.
