A protein-heavy diet may increase cardiovascular disease risk by setting off an immune response that drives atherosclerotic plaque formation, new research suggests. When more than 22% of daily ...

Nearly a third of all proteins in living beings are firmly embedded in a biomembrane - either in a cell's outer membrane or in the boundaries of internal cellular compartments. There, these membrane ...

Researchers have found that proteins and pathways involved in inflammation are associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD) over time. The research, could potentially lead to the ...

Northwestern investigators have identified a novel approach to control the hierarchical assembly of protein pathways with DNA, according to a study published the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

A novel reporter protein has been developed to enable the investigation of protein biogenesis in the ER and its disruption in disease. A recent research collaboration between multiple Japanese ...

Membrane proteins are proteins that are part of or interact with cell membranes, and they are responsible for carrying out the majority of the functions of these membranes. Membrane proteins account ...

Longevity science has spent decades chasing single molecules that might slow aging, but most candidates have delivered modest, inconsistent results. A new line of research is now pointing to a ...

Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Rinvoq for some people with atopic dermatitis. Rinvoq is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. These drugs work by blocking an important pathway ...
