The efforts of a research team give hope for new treatment approaches for dangerous tropical diseases. The researchers have compiled a high-precision inventory of the membrane...
Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to new research.
The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum...
Protein sources appear to have major effects on both the population and function of the mouse gut microbiome.
Scientists have discovered how chemokines and G protein-coupled receptors selectively bind each other to control how cells move.
A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: First, does the source of protein...
There's a sensation that you experience -- near a plane taking off or a speaker bank at a concert -- from a sound so total that...
A global study has shown that countries which consume more plant-based proteins -- such as chickpeas, tofu and peas -- have longer adult life expectancies. Scientists...
Bacteria naturally present in the human intestine (known as the gut microbiota) can transform cholesterol-derived bile acids into powerful metabolites that strengthen anti-cancer immunity by blocking...
A research team investigated the case of a male Asian small-clawed otter that fell down the stairs while sleeping, after which it developed left-sided paralysis.
