Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered evidence of bacteria hiding in 'noninfectious' kidney stones. These hardened ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

Microphysiological systems and organ-on-chip technologies are increasingly used to model human tissues outside the body, offering alternatives to animal experiments and traditional cell cultures.

In A Nutshell Dissolving microneedle patches embedded with microscopic bubbles deliver three acne medications simultaneously, ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

BACKGROUND: The disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a central pathogenic event in many central nervous system disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating BBB function remain incompletely ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

In a move aimed at revising and standardising laboratory testing charges for drugs, vaccines, and traditional medicines, the ...
