Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

In recent years, mammalian synthetic biology has made significant strides, especially in controlling gene expression and designing complex cellular behaviors. Researchers have now begun to apply these ...

A comprehensive mini-review published today after peer review in Brain Medicine by Dr. Tao Ma and colleagues at Wake Forest University School of Medicine synthesizes emerging evidence that two ...

A research collaboration has found that besides regulating the fusion of mitochondria, Mitofusin 2 also ensures protein quality control. This discovery could open up new routes to treating ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...
