Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an oestrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...

Introduction Definition of Peptides Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2 to ...

In the twenty-first century, considerable efforts have been made to convert biomass and plastic waste into value-added products. Conversion of biomass and waste plastic to fuels and chemicals ...

Dworkin co-authored a paper outlining the chemical compounds scientists found in the Bennu samples. They included 14 of the 20 amino acids life on Earth uses to make proteins and the compounds found ...

Major Finding: IL-33 drives the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures in inflammation and pancreatic cancer. Concept: IL-33 activates gut-derived group 2 innate lymphoid cells to induce tertiary ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in ...

While the idea of a chain of amino acids folding into a working protein might seem simple, it’s a finely tuned process. The folded structure is what allows proteins to carry out the countless ...
