A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

A protein, TDP43, previously linked to dementia and ALS, has been found to control DNA repair. Researchers say abnormal ...

Generative AI is biology’s new playground. The technology powering popular chatbots can also dream up new, entirely novel versions of life’s most basic molecules, from DNA to proteins. Once the domain ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Sunidhi Shetty, Narasimha Murthy Bandaru, Anna Moberg and Marco Manni, which was presented at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2024 in affiliation with ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are essential for successful chromosome transmission during replication and segregation of the genome in all organisms. SMC proteins were thought ...
