A new study finds that peripheral glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neurofilament light chain (NfL), two proteins in the brain, could be biomarkers that clinicians can use to spot dementia ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but ...

Far from a static barrier, the brain’s extensive interface with the blood is increasingly being appreciated as an active border, one that serves not only to keep some proteins out, but to let others ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes. They are the building blocks of life, performing a wide range of functions within organisms, from ...

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

In Greek mythology, Proteus, son of Poseidon and prophetic shepherd of sea-beasts, could foretell the future. The elusive sea god was difficult to capture as he assumed many forms—a lion, a serpent, ...

Observing proteins with precision in living cells has been a challenge for researchers across various disciplines. Now, Stefan Kubicek, PhD, and his team at CEMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine ...
