Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid ...

Researchers have mapped a USP11-IGF2BP2-ATOX1 molecular axis that shields non-small cell lung cancer cells from ...

The human genome comprises both canonical protein-coding genes and a vast number of non-canonical coding regions, yet the translation products of the latter remain largely underexplored. Now, the ...

A protein that's essential to every cell's ability to turn off unnecessary genes is well known for its key function of compacting genes and its connection to cancer when it undergoes mutation. But ...

UMBC is contributing to a multi-institution research project, funded by the Advanced Research  Projects Agency for Health ...

Colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related death for people under 50. Its most common forms generally ...

In Ewing sarcoma, an abnormal protein formed by the fusion of two genes can activate repetitive DNA regions that normally ...

Ben-Gurion University scientists show that destroying such proteins forces cancer cells to self-destruct, in potential key to ...

An experimental dressing captures growth factors and releases them when repair cells pull on the material. Tests found smaller mouse wounds after 10 days and improved cell migration into dressings in ...

Plants—like people—come in all shapes and sizes. And just like scientists want to understand the components of the human body ...

Scientists are using cell-free transcription and translation systems to synthesize proteins, design biology-based sensors and ...

But in Earth’s environment, most proteins don’t last nearly that long. That’s because organisms have evolved a handful of ...
