Plants produce special molecules that act like natural pesticides to help defend themselves against pests. Unfortunately, ...

However, the intricate mechanisms governing these processes have remained elusive due to the presence of multiple functional domains within Munc13, each playing distinct roles in neurotransmitter ...

This important study uses advanced computational methods to elucidate how environmental dielectric properties influence the interaction strengths of tyrosine and phenylalanine in biomolecular ...

Protein accumulations do important work in the human body, but something can go wrong and proliferate in those aggregates, ...

Researchers discovered AP2A1, a protein controlling cellular aging. Lower AP2A1 reversed aging effects, while higher levels ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found a critical role for the physical interfaces of these of amyloid beta peptides in determining the chemical dynamics of their assemblies ...

Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have developed a technique that could lead to cheaper, reusable ...

Findings from the implanted scaffold led researchers to block specific inflammatory molecules, easing disease severity in a mouse model.

AP2A1 could serve as a biomarker for aging and a target for therapies aimed at slowing down or even reversing the aging ...

A sponge-like implant in mice helped guide a treatment that slowed or stopped a degenerative condition similar to multiple sclerosis in humans. It also gave researchers a look at how primary ...

These proteins call over other cells to fight infection ... A close look at immune cells confirmed less disease activity in nanoparticle-treated mice. "The scaffold provides an unprecedented ability ...

In addition, the researchers found that AP2A1 is often closely associated with integrin β1, a protein that helps cells latch onto the scaffolding-like collagen matrix that surrounds them ...
