Collagen is a fibrous protein found in cartilage and other connective tissue.
Discovery of the MOTH domain offers insights into evolution. This is because both insects and vertebrates need collagen in their connective tissue.
Cells need to be able to quickly alter their form if they are to migrate. Cells do this by storing additional “skin” amid folds and bumps on their surface, according to a team of researchers from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Muscles that ache after a hard workout usually don't hurt for long, thanks to stem cells that rush to the injured site along "collagen highways" within the muscle and repair the damaged tissue.
Collagen is the basic protein that makes up the intercellular matrix, or in other words, the environment for the connective tissue cells of our body, such as tendons, bone, and cartilage.
The body’s biological clock is interfered with by abnormal sleep habits, such as those of night shift workers, which have been connected to lung health problems.
Proteomics is the study and analysis of proteins in a biological system, including their structures, functions, associations, and alterations.
The fruit of the cocklebur plant, which grows worldwide and is often considered a noxious weed, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components that could make it useful as a skin protectant, according to new research.
Researchers from Kyushu University have found how a single mechanosensitive protein induces the process that thickens and scars tissue, known as fibrosis. The protein, called VGLL3, was shown to contribute to fibrosis in multiple organs.
According to a recent study done by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, cancer cells have an inbuilt unpredictability in their capacity to respond to chemotherapy, which is another tool in their armory for fighting treatment.
Most cells have a pretty normal life: they're born, they grow, they get old, and they die. But the Benjamin Buttons of the cellular world can go from old to young again in the right context.
By using artificial human skin, a research group from the University of Copenhagen have managed to block invasive growth in a skin cancer model.
A group of scientists spearheaded by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has created a unique messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery system utilizing extracellular vesicles (EVs).
Researchers have found that sugar-based molecules can be used to inhibit the activity of a cell receptor that plays a role in the emergence of a variety of viral infections and cancers.
Biomedical and genetic engineers at Duke University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have designed a small fluorescent protein that emits and absorbs light that penetrates deep into biological tissue.
Neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, the cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to our muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between.
A long-running debate in gastroenterology has been settled by WEHI researchers who have shown that prevalent liver diseases are not caused by inflammatory cell death as previously believed.
In this interview, PerkinElmer, talks to AZoLifeSciences about overcoming challenges associated with analyzing pesticides.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine claim to have discovered significant molecular variations between cancer cells that adhere to an initial tumor and those that spread out to develop distant tumors while researching the fatal form of breast cancer known as triple negative.
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems’ Physical Intelligence Department merged robotics and biology by outfitting E. coli bacteria with artificial components to create biohybrid microrobots.
Heart disease -; the leading cause of death in the U.S. -; is so deadly in part because the heart, unlike other organs, cannot repair itself after injury.
