Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By ...

Lysosomes are the control centers for the metabolism of cells and tissues, including the brain. They break down defective ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new approach called “optovolution.” This technique uses light to guide the evolution ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

Paired Box 3 (PAX3) is a protein that plays a critical role in the formation of tissues and organs during embryonic ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging overall. McMaster ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...
