Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

A protein called fascin binds and bridges pairs of actin filaments, stitching them into bundles. These bundles are then ...

It has been a few years since AI began successfully tackling the challenge of predicting the three-dimensional structure of ...

New tools enable researchers to remotely and non-invasively guide engineered cells around the body to kill cancer or repair ...

Imagine being at a big marquee event in an arena, like the Super Bowl, with the roar of the crowd, the smell of hot dogs, and ...

A group of Penn scientists has developed a new method to remotely control engineered cells inside the human body using heat.

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective ...

Proteins are life's engines, powering processes like muscle movement, vision, and chemical reactions. Their ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich have for the first time investigated how protein structures derived from fava beans affect a ...

Frizzled (FZD) proteins are the principal receptors of the Wnt signaling pathway. However, whether Wnt ligands induce FZD endocytosis and degradation remains elusive. The transmembrane E3 ubiquitin ...
