Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...

Cancers emerge from many different paths. One path begins early, in embryonic development, when a protein complex called PRC2, which regulates cell differentiation, identity, and plasticity, becomes ...

If you've ever accidentally sliced yourself on broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can be hard to stop. Scientists have long wondered how the cascade of events ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 ...

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and ...

Researchers found that TEX38 and ZDHHC19 co-localize on the plasma membrane of spermatids and mediate S-palmitoylation of ARRDC5, a crucial protein for spermatogenesis. Disrupting either TEX38 or ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

Proteoforms, the diverse molecular variants of proteins, are key to understanding cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and ...

Even with significant expansion in the global market for antibodies used in clinical care and research, scientists recognize that there is still untapped potential for finding new antibodies. Many ...

Every second, hundreds to thousands of molecules move through thousands of nuclear pores in each of your cells. A new high-definition view reveals the machine in action.
