In preliminary experiments with mice and lab-grown cells, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found that a protein-signaling process accelerates the work of the gene most frequently ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – November 6, 2025) The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme’s “tail” called phosphorylation patterns.

UNC researchers discovered how a key step in cell signaling works by showing exactly how G proteins detach from receptors that many common medicines target. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Within the expanding domain of short-chain bioactive peptides, Decapeptide-12 has emerged as a particularly intriguing molecular construct.

B cells are white blood cells that form a core part of the body's adaptive immune system, enabling it to recognize specific ...
