A new discovery about the slime ejected by velvet worms could revolutionize sustainable material design. The findings outline how a naturally occurring protein structure, conserved across...
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...
Chemists found a way to identify a complex sugar molecule in the cell walls of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the world's deadliest pathogen. This labeling could lead to...
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.
Scientists believe they know what causes the treated infection to mimic chronic illness: the body may be responding to remnants of the bacteria that causes Lyme...
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...
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...
