A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

Study details how nutrient-starved cells divert protein transport stations to cellular recycling centers to be broken down, highlighting a novel approach cells use to deal with stressful conditions. A ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

Age is the single greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative disease, yet the cellular mechanisms that drive age-related protein accumulation in the brain remain incompletely understood. In ...

A group of international researchers reports the availability of a new “map”’ of every gene, protein, and metabolic pathway required for a cell to efficiently secrete recombinant proteins. The team, ...

Mice that overproduced adipogenin had fat cells that could store significantly larger lipid droplets, in turn increasing the size of the fat cells. Adipogenin, the researchers found, was bolstering ...
