A research team has gained new insights into the molecular processes of clathrin-mediated endocytosis—the central process by which cells take up nutrients, messenger substances and receptors. The ...

Researchers capture first-of-its-kind video of dynein–Lis1 protein interaction, supporting future drug development for neurological disorders. Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized ...

Bacteria that live peacefully in the human gut can aim molecular syringes at intestinal cells and fire proteins directly into ...

Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they're produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a ...

Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, model networks are needed to perform in vitro studies. However, fabrication of ...
