Researchers have synthesized the first artificial human prion

New evidence suggests a mechanism by which progressive accumulation of Tau protein in brain cells may lead to Alzheimer’s disease

Rice University scientists used a rapidly pulsing X-ray laser to show how drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria deactivate the antibiotic molecules intended to treat the deadly lung disease.

Study shows how two proteins spring into action to ensure that a memory is encoded within minutes.

Scientists have created a tiny toaster-sized chemistry lab built around a very small mass spectrometer for a rover that will drill beneath the Martian surface looking for signs of past or present life.

A new technique provides a more in-depth look at the metabolism and physiology within microbial communities. Specifically, the new technique provides a more direct way to determine what food source, or substrate, a certain microbe has consumed.

BellBrook Labs has been awarded a $1 million phase II SBIR grant by the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences to develop assays to detect cGAMP in biological samples.

Women who are obese and who have been metabolically healthy for decades are still at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared to metabolically healthy women of normal weight, according to an observational study that followed over 90000 American women for up to 30 years.

Scientists have engineered a new type of anti-cancer antibody, one intended to enhance nature’s cancer-fighting strategies by attracting killer T cells directly to cancer cells covered with a distinctive protein.

For middle-aged men, eating higher amounts of protein was associated with a slightly elevated risk for heart failure than those who ate less protein, according to new research from the University of Eastern Finland. Proteins from fish and eggs were not associated with heart failure risk in this study.
