In 2009, Jonathan Weissman was hunting for a new way to spy on what happens inside a cell. In particular, the molecular cell biologist wanted to know what proteins are produced at any given moment. So ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

Around 25 million Americans have a rare genetic disease, and many of them struggle with not only a lack of effective ...

A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found.

During the first weeks of pregnancy, the developing placenta in a mother's womb undergoes a dramatic change. Individual cells ...

A research team from the University of Osaka, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has uncovered ...

Now, scientists at Scripps Research have identified a key player in the placenta's transformation-a molecule called ...

Keeping a qubit stable is difficult enough, even in an ideal environment. Now, researchers have figured out how to make a protein behave like a qubit in a living cell. Fluorescent proteins were used ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

Study finds protein traits and CHO-cell gene programs drive therapeutic protein yields, guiding biomanufacturing.
