Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membrane-bound particles released by cells to transport proteins and other molecules to ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

The amount of any given protein in a cell has to be controlled to keep its levels within a range required for healthy functions. This is especially important for proteins that are known to group ...

Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For ...

Making proteins for research or therapies often starts with cell-line development. In many applications, genetic engineering is used to optimize a cell line for producing high levels of the intended ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...

A protein-level tension sensor reveals how cell shape and sarcomere maturity determine where cardiomyocytes carry mechanical ...
