New Research Reveals Unexpected Tissue Healing Roles for Cellular Proteins

Tendon injuries, though very common, frequently heal with scar tissue, which is less flexible and more prone to future injury. Better insights into the biological mechanisms that promote stronger and more complete tendon repair are necessary to develop effective treatment measures.

Scientists Identify Biological Link Between Low Birth Weight and Chronic Disease

Researchers have long sought to discover why babies who weigh less than expected at birth, a condition known as small for gestational age, or SGA, are at higher risk for heart, lung and metabolic diseases as adults.

University of Utah Study Identifies Arc Protein as Alzheimer's Driver

Alzheimer's disease is driven by a buildup of a toxic protein called Tau that kills neurons. As toxic Tau spreads to new regions of the brain, symptoms become worse and ultimately fatal.

Researchers Discover Molecules Targeting Vital Cell Signaling Proteins

To function normally, nearly every cell in the human body relies on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to receive and send signals. That's why GPCRs are targeted by roughly one-third of all FDA‑approved drugs.

Automated Cell-Free Systems Boost Protein Production Performance Five-Fold

A research team led by Professor Joongoo Lee in the Department of Chemical Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed an automated, modular method for assembling reconstituted cell-free systems, which are test-tube systems that can produce proteins outside living cells.

Modified Mediterranean Diet Improves Lifespan and Metabolic Health

A plant- and fish-based, low-protein diet paired with small amounts of an amino acid commonly found in eggs, meat and dairy increased healthy lifespan and decreased frailty and fat mass in mice, according to a new USC study published today in the journal Cell Metabolism.

Decoding Hidden Metabolic Tissue Crosstalk via Advanced Proteomic Tracking

The body's organs are in constant communication. Fat tissue tells the liver when to store or release energy, the immune system signals localized inflammation, and thousands of proteins carry these messages to organs throughout the body.

Researchers Study Chloroplast Antenna Proteins to Boost Global Crop Yields

Plants must carefully strike a balance between harvesting sunlight to fuel photosynthesis and protecting themselves from light damage.

Novel Cyclic Peptides Cross Cell Membranes to Fight Disease

Many diseases are driven by proteins interacting with each other inside cells. But blocking these interactions with drugs is difficult because our typic "small-molecule" drugs often prove to be too small to grip the broad, flat surfaces involved in protein-protein interactions.

High Protein Levels Bypass Functional BRCA Defenses to Generate Toxic Double-Strand Genomic Breaks

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that protect and repair DNA in cells.

Understanding the Origin of Early Life and Mystery of Protein Folding

How did the earliest life on Earth build complex biological machinery with so few tools? A new study explores how the simplest building blocks of proteins - once limited to just half of today's amino acids - could still form the sophisticated structures life depends on.
