Researchers developed a “test tube” so tiny that it can hold a single cell. These vials enabled them to connect protein secretion levels with surface markers and transcriptome data from the same cell.

snoRNAs were thought simply to guide chemical modifications to rRNAs, but a new technique has revealed a suite of potential functions in protein secretion. A recent research effort from the University ...

Protein is the essential macronutrient that helps build your bones and muscles. It also helps repair your tissue damage and ...

Cells have sophisticated methods of sensing stimuli and communicating with nearby cells in response to these stimuli. For example, macrophages can sense environmental stimuli—tissue damage, foreign ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and ...

Uncontrolled secretion of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen can lead to excessive scarring and fibrosis, and compromise tissue function. Researchers at the Center for Genomic ...
