A natural bacterial system has been harnessed to develop a new approach to delivering proteins to human cells.

According to a study, the fast motor kinetics of prestin, a protein found in the inner ear, is essential for hearing high-frequency sounds.

Researchers have identified specific proteins and amino acids that could control bioenergy plants’ ability to identify beneficial microbes that can enhance plant growth and storage of carbon in soils.

A research team has developed a new bright red fluorescent protein that combines maximum brightness with fast and complete folding.

Steroid hormones act by binding to receptor molecules that switch on and off the activity of hormone-dependent genes. Researchers at the University of Freiburg and Kiel University Hospital have discovered that components of the cytoskeleton are critically involved in this process.

A recent study paves the way to increased efficiency of second-generation ethanol production based on the discovery of novel targets for metabolic engineering in a more robust strain of industrial yeast.

There are now products to match nearly every lifestyle and price point pet owners demand, including vegan formulations. New research shows at least two human-grade, lightly cooked vegan diets provide adequate nutrition for dogs.

Research has demonstrated how nitrogen from human milk is used by beneficial microbes in the gut of infants to support pediatric nutrition and development.

A protein family’s role in the regulation of fast-twitch muscle fibers – those involved in fast and powerful movements – has been identified by scientists at the University of Tsukuba. The research is published in Cell Reports.

New research has illustrated the role of the microbiome in conferring the heart health benefits of walnuts.
