A groundbreaking study has revealed a surprising biochemical connection between plant immune responses and human neurological health. Researchers have discovered that the metabolic pathways regulating ...

Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein normally expressed in cells that develop into connective tissue, ...

A multi-omics study reveals that impaired branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism is a key driver of sarcopenia, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by ...

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment -- a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer.

This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

Of the 20 essential amino acids, nine are actually essential. Of those nine, three are branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Leucine falls into both groups. All BCAAS are vital for building and ...

Proteins are biopolymers of amino acids (polypeptides), joined by peptide bonds, that are generated by ribosomes. The amino acid sequence, encoded by its gene, determines a protein’s structure ...

Dietary measures and medications may help reduce uric acid and manage gout. Gout can occur when blood uric acid levels are too high, causing crystals to form in the toes, feet, and other joints.
