Protein‐polymer conjugates represent a dynamic class of hybrid materials that combine the inherent biological function and specificity of proteins with the versatile properties of synthetic polymers.

Protein stabilization is key to tackling protein aggregation, which is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Rajan et al. explore molecular mechanisms by which zwitterionic polymers stabilize ...

A crucial ‘precursor’ has been identified in pathological protein fibril formation. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University (Japan) have applied ideas from polymer physics to illuminate the ...

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Scientists at Northwestern, and Case Western Reserve universities have developed the first polymer-based therapeutic for the genetic disorder Huntington’s disease, an incurable neurodegenerative ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

Scientists at Northwestern and Case Western Reserve universities have developed the first polymer-based therapeutic for Huntington's disease, an incurable, debilitating illness that causes nerve cells ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

At present, 3D printing is an increasingly widespread and accessible technology, typically involving the formation of solid polymeric materials in a specific region, either by extruding pre-formed ...
