Scientists have long struggled to target proteins that lack defined structure and are involved in cancer, neurodegenerative ...

A study from Cornell researchers could enable a quantum leap forward in identifying and deciphering cancer-driving genetic ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Harvard Medical School scientists have identified a key protein in the human immune system that drives inflammatory and ...

Scientists have made a potentially “life-changing” discovery that could pave the way for new drugs to treat Parkinson’s ...

Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...

Researchers have revealed for the first time how a key protein linked to Parkinson's mutates, leads to cell death in the ...

Scientists have known for years that certain proteins were associated with Parkinson’s disease. But in a recent paper ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.
