12-03-02 In a paper just published in the journal Cell, a team from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has explained for the first time how a long-studied protein complex affects cell migration and how external cues affect cell's ability to migr...

12-02-16 Prions（小蛋白粒） , the much-maligned proteins most commonly known for causing mad cow disease, are commonly used in yeast to produce beneficial traits in the wild. Moreover, such traits can be passed on to subsequent generations and eventually bec...

12-01-19 Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have identified a compound that can help repair a specific type of defect in RNA, a type of genetic material. The methods in the new study could accelerate the development of thera...

12-01-05 Researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center's Institute for Regenerative Medicine and colleagues have discovered a new protein that may play a critical role in how the human body regulates blood sugar levels. Reporting in the current issue of...

11-12-22 University of Miami (UM) biology professor Akira Chiba is leading a multidisciplinary（有关各种学问的） team to develop the first systematic survey of protein interactions within brain cells. The team is aiming to reconstruct genome-wide in situ pro...

11-12-20 When a plant encounters drought, it does its best to cope with this stress by activating a set of protein molecules called receptors（受体，感受器） . These receptors, once activated, turn on processes that help the plant survive the stress. A team...

11-12-15 Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have discovered new protein fragments in semen（精液） that enhance the ability of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, to infect new cells -- a discovery that one day could help curb the global spread of this dead...

11-12-14 High levels of tau（牛磺酸） protein in fluid bathing the brain are linked to poor recovery after head trauma, according to a study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Fondazione IRCCS Ca Granda-Ospedale Maggiore Polic...

11-12-11 Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method to design antibodies aimed at combating disease. The surprisingly simple process was used to make antibodies that neutralize the harmful protein particles that lead to Alzhe...

11-11-20 Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center have discovered a protein called TAT-5 that affects the production of extracellular（细胞外的） vesicles, small sacs（囊） of membrane released from the surface of cells, capable of sending signals to other...
