Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Research by UC Santa Cruz molecular biologist Harry Noller and his collaborators has led to the first direct observations of the mechanism for protein synthesis in living cells. Their new findings on ...

Key market opportunities in the global competent cells market include rising demands in genetic engineering and synthetic ...

Aging-related diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders and type 2 diabetes, are associated with defects in protein synthesis and folding. Previous studies have shown that protein ...

The FDA approval of denileukin diftitox (Lymphir) marked a significant shift in this paradigm. As a first-in-class immunotoxin, it employs a dual-action mechanism: directly targeting interleukin-2 (IL ...
