Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, working with other U.S. researchers, have uncovered the structure of a key cell ...

Scientists from Scripps Research have uncovered new structures of transthyretin, a protein that moves important hormones like thyroxine through blood and spinal fluid. Misfolded versions of the ...

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? "We find ...

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. "A central goal of ...

Scientists at Stanford may have uncovered a hidden reason our brains decline with age. Studying the ultra-short-lived turquoise killifish, researchers discovered that the cellular machinery ...

Scientists discovered a unique moss protein called RAK1 that combines two important cellular functions into one molecule.

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. Now, a study ...
