Breaking new science reveals how a specific fiber can decrease liver fat synthesis, increase fat burning, and even turn sugar into proteins. But that's only the ...

EPFL researchers have discovered how cells help keep their protein levels steady even when their ability to make new proteins ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever.

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

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

The process behind embryonic diapause could explain how cancer cells can survive long periods of metabolic stress.

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...

A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...
