Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

The Abu-Remaileh Lab published an atlas of proteins, found in lysosomes across different brain cell types, to advance research on neurodegenerative diseases.

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs—the first proven to change the course of the disease—typically extend ...

(89Stocker/Canva) Science is one step closer to cracking the code of longevity thanks to a new study that identified dozens of proteins linked with slower aging in the blood of centenarians.

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase a key brain protein damaged in Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects thousands of children worldwide. Early studies in mice and ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

Yeast, worms, and mice remodel their endoplasmic reticulum early in the aging process. The protective shift offers potential targets to extend healthy lifespan.

Legislation that would place a five-year moratorium on having or selling cell-cultured protein in South Dakota has received final approval from state lawmakers and will soon be ...
