A new study suggests that the irregular metabolism of branched-chain amino acids – components of proteins found in many foods – may be partially to blame for progression of gestational diabetes mellitus to type 2 diabetes.

Researchers have identified a naturally occurring lipid—a waxy, fatty acid—used by a disease-causing bacterium to impair the host immune response and increase the chance of infection. Inadvertently, they also may have found a potent inflammation therapy against bacterial and viral diseases.

Hires protein analysis expert for customer support.

Scientists report the protein complex mTORC1 serves as a bridge between environmental signals and metabolic programs to influence the fate of developing T cells.

Using Ferritin, a large protein shell that our cells use to store iron, researchers have found a method that allows an electron microscope (EM) to view proteins precisely. The method allowed the scientists to enable the cell to make the tag itself avoiding damage caused by placing it from the outside of the cell.

Penn study finds multiple ‘proteinopathies’ present in most neurodegenerative diseases, expanding treatment to target more of them may prove successful

Chronic viral infection could induce overproduction of Alzheimer's-disease-associated protein and cause damaging inflammation

Researchers have developed stable single-crystalline porous hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) that are thermally and chemically durable and have large surface area and fluorescence properties.

Neuroscientists have unraveled a molecular code that determines the shape, location and function of connections between individual neurons

Scientists at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have identified a physical basis for the spread of corrupted proteins known as prions inside cells.
