Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University have discovered that cells generate steady internal fluid currents, dubbed ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that help cells rapidly move essential proteins to the front of the cell, ...

Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's ...

Although proteins are composed out of only a small number of distinct amino acids, this deceptive simplicity quickly vanishes when considering the many possible sequences across a protein, not to ...

Uniform protein labeling in intact tissues is a challenge. An approach that allows antibodies to seep within organs could label proteins in millions of cells. Conventional protein-tagging methods, ...

The ability to alter proteins to refine control over binding affinity and specificity can create tailored therapeutics with reduced side effects, highly sensitive diagnostic tools, efficient ...

Various approaches to such protein redesign have drawbacks. Traditional methods include time-consuming trial and error efforts, and many models in the emerging field ...
