Two recently published studies led by Brazilian scientists reveal the key roles of multifunctional proteins, STIP1 and Maspin ...

Every function in a cell is associated with a particular protein or group of proteins, typically in a well-defined ...

Explore how the YB1 protein's intrinsic disorder helps it perform crucial cellular functions, impacting cancer therapies.

The newly described microbe represents a world of parasitic, intercellular biodiversity only beginning to be revealed by ...

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are vital cellular organelles that govern energy metabolism, maintain redox ...

Neurons of the mammalian CNS, including retinal ganglion cells, lack, in contrast to the PNS, the ability to regenerate axons spontaneously after injury. Regeneration of the CNS is extremely complex ...

Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are essential organelles that extend from the cell surface, playing crucial roles in sensory ...

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

Around 80% of proteins involved in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative illnesses do not have a stable structure. These proteins, known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can quickly ...
