Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

Caltech researchers demonstrated a new method to use light to control active matter—a kind of material made up of individual ...

Scientists uncover an enzyme that boosts cancer cell metabolism to fuel growth. The enzyme, GUK1, supports metabolism in cancer cells to help tumors grow.

Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

Lung cancer is a particularly challenging form of cancer. It often strikes unexpectedly and aggressively with little warning, and it can shapeshift in unpredictable ways to evade treatment.

Synthetic biologists from Yale were recode the genetic code of an organism, a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with ...

Researchers identified two anoikis-related genes linked with CTEPH, and that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or treatment ...

Due to proteostasis stress induced by aging or disease, misfolded proteins can form toxic intermediate species of aggregates and eventually mature into less toxic inclusion bodies (IBs). Here, using a ...

Scientists are urgently seeking fluid biomarkers for frontotemporal dementia, the most common dementing illness among 40- and ...

Matt Price drove his 73-year-old father Stephen from their New Jersey home to a medical strip mall on the Jersey Shore, for ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...
