The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

Interactions between proteins and lipids have diverse and complex roles in various biological processes, ranging from the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes to host-pathogen ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

The cytokine-producing signal protein, a target for drug hunters, has additional activators that could be manipulated ...

Researchers at Entos Pharmaceuticals report today in Cell that they have developed a particle that can deliver DNA and RNA to many tissues without triggering an immune response (2024, DOI: ...

Earlier UT Southwestern research had identified a protein known as seipin that was critical for healthy lipid storage across organisms, including humans. But how seipin was facilitating this remained ...

Researchers in Bochum have discovered a control mechanism that may also operate beyond plants. Proteins carrying a "tail anchor" must be inserted into the ER membrane before they can fulfill their ...

Scientists have identified a protein that acts as a kind of traffic controller for fat inside cells, revealing a mechanism that could help explain how the body regulates energy storage and why things ...
