Both microtubule-binding protein tau and RNA-binding protein TDP-43 have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, including in co-pathological deposition with each ...

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

Kanazawa University, have discovered how a gene-regulating protein forms tiny liquid-like droplets inside the cell nucleus ...

Researchers discovered that the common amino acid arginine can block harmful Aβ aggregation and reduce its toxic effects in ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have clarified how spermine—a small molecule that regulates many processes in ...

Sugar-based liquid solvents store crucial injection-based therapeutics such as insulin and vaccines. However, the shelf-lives ...

As barley is rich in protein and contains essential amino acids, upcycled barley protein has the potential to be a quality, environmentally sustainable protein source. Since barley isn’t a complete ...

If you spend any time on social media, you'd think we're all suffering from a massive protein deficiency. It's the one wellness trend that never dies, pushing everyone to buy expensive powders, bars, ...

In a peer-reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the single life form that branched into ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins. Amino acids might be added to insulin, for example, to maintain shelf-life and stop undesired chemical reactions ...

For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep proteins (i.e. larger particles) from interacting in undesirable ways. And for ...
