Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study challenges that notion, revealing an unexpected confirmation in ...

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) — commonly known as bad cholesterol — have long been on scientists’ radar as a major ...

The team believes that the structure was in use until the 8th century BCE, the middle of the period when the Kings of Judah ruled. A scarab seal from the 8th century BCE uncovered during the ...

Earth's inner core may actually have two distinct layers. (alexlmx/Canva Pro) "We found evidence that may indicate a change in the structure of iron, which suggests perhaps two separate cooling events ...

ApoB-100’s massive size and association with lipids in LDL have frustrated conventional approaches to studying its detailed structure. Berndsen and Cassidy and Reimund et al. have overcome this ...

Iron is a fundamental mineral that our body requires for optimal functioning. It plays a vital part in carrying oxygen to our muscles, body organs, and tissues, and it’s also an indispensable ...

To unravel PfHO function, we first determined a 2.8 Å-resolution X-ray structure that revealed a highly α-helical fold indicative of distant HO homology. Localization studies unveiled PfHO targeting ...

Haem-dependent, direct sGC stimulators sensitize ... However, as no crystal structure of sGC is available, it is possible that these residues might be situated in the interface between the sGC ...

b. brucei via HpHbR-mediated uptake. Displaying a longer half-life in blood, the lipoprotein complexes with Hb may thus represent a constant source of the haemoglobin-derived haem for trypanosomes.
