The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Maintaining cellular order is a major logistical challenge: Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, ...

A research team led by Prof. XU Zhiheng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified Tapt1, together with its partner Suco, as important ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

The diagram illustrates the key stages of protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell. It begins with transcription to produce pre-mRNA in the nucleus (1), followed by post-transcriptional modification (2) ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilizing cell structure to catalyzing chemical reactions, ...

A research team led by Prof. Xu Zhiheng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified Tapt1, together with its partner Suco, as important ...

These proteins depend on their partner because they are rapidly degraded if they are not combined into complexes as soon as they are made. Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble ...
