Findings from preclinical studies could point to therapeutic strategies for Huntington’s disease, as well as other neurodegenerative disorders and potentially cancer.

Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the ...

Scientists may have figured out a brand new way to treat lung cancer by using a protein that inhibits tumor growth. This previously unknown molecule pathway could help researchers develop personalized ...

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 ...

Disulphide bonds play a critical role in stabilising the three‐dimensional structures of proteins and ensuring their correct function. Their precise mapping is essential not only for understanding ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown pathway that allows toxic proteins linked to Huntington’s disease to spread ...

Saint Louis University’s Protein Core is a shared-use core facility that supports expression, purification and analysis of reagent and preclinical proteins. The core provides instrumentation and ...
