Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a role for the youth-associated protein TIMP2 in ...

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 ...

Some proteins in human cells that are implicated in cancer also have causal roles in neurodevelopmental disorders, raising the possibility of repurposing targeted cancer therapies to help address ...

All cells metabolize nutrients to generate the energy and molecular building blocks required for survival. Cancer cells, ...

Cancer occurs when cells divide uncontrollably and displace healthy cells. Tumor suppressors provide an important defense ...

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...

Within the past few years, models that can predict the structure or function of proteins have been widely used for a variety of biological applications, such as identifying drug targets and designing ...

A single human gene can produce multiple protein isoforms through alternative splicing, greatly expanding the functional diversity of the proteome.

A decade-long study using precise kidney function measurements challenges concerns about dietary protein harming kidney health in adults largely free of chronic kidney disease.
