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

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

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 ...

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

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging overall. McMaster ...

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 ...

In genetics, one harmful variant can be enough to cause disease—but two can make it far more severe. One notable example is KJ, an infant diagnosed with a rare urea cycle disorder with a grim ...

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 ...

More protein might not be beneficial for everyone, researchers say, as studies suggest protein restriction could boost ...

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.
