Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its biological function while resisting aggregation, a pathological trait linked ...

A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

Researchers at Hebrew University use RNA trans-splicing to program cells for disease detection ...

It can be estimated theoretically that more unique biological interactions exist than stars in our known universe. The biological foundations of life are built on an unimaginably vast network of ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed 'SpudCell', a synthetic cell-like system made entirely from non-living materials. The laboratory-engineered system can acquire nutrients, ...

Source: Via Tenor The human brain has been described as the most complex structure in the universe (Dolan, 2007; see also Pang, 2023). Researchers estimate that we have over 100 trillion connections ...
