Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL)—commonly known as bad cholesterol—have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor ...

The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller and structurally simpler than those in eukaryotic cells. These non-membrane-bound ...

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into “complexes” to fulfill their functions. A study by the ...

Proteins are key biomolecular substances involved in all activities of the human body. To create a digital cell map that can be used throughout the ...

It has been a few years since AI began successfully tackling the challenge of predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins, complex molecules that are essential for all life. Next-generation ...
