Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, largely due to metastasis and ...

Intracellular peptides, generated predominantly via the ubiquitin–proteasome system, have emerged as critical modulators of cell signalling. These peptides play multifaceted roles, ranging from ...

Cancer-fighting T cells do not simply "run out of energy." They are molecularly reprogrammed. For years, mitochondrial ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new approach called “optovolution.” This technique uses light to guide the evolution ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the ...

A protein already targeted by FDA-approved cancer drugs may also help the body fight influenza, according to new research ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and ...

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up the field of biology, tracking what’s happening inside cells. Now these ubiquitous tools are ...
