Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) display a distinctive resistance against various viruses, irrespective of any interferon response. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of this resistance remains unclear ...

Protein function is often dynamically regulated by interactions with small molecules. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind processes such as metabolic reactions and drug responses requires ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a cellular protein, tubulin, that can redirect two of the most ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Researchers found that mice lacking membrane ERα signaling in osteoblast lineage cells had significantly lower cortical bone mass, highlighting the pathway’s critical role in maintaining the strength ...

A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, ...

Protein molecules are found embedded in the two layers of phospholipids. Membrane proteins have a wide variety of functions. Some allow a cell to respond to specific chemical signals from other cells, ...

In a study published in Analytical Chemistry, a research team led by Wang Junfeng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel immobilization ...

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process in how the outer membrane of gram ...
