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

A mini-review in Brain Medicine examines the distinct and often opposing roles of AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 isoforms in Alzheimer's ...

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 ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...
