A new study shows p62-mediated Mallory-Denk body formation is an adaptive, protective response to alcohol-induced liver ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and University of California, Santa Barbara have created the first synthetic fragment of tau protein that acts like a prion. The "mini prion" folds and stacks ...

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) remains a leading cause of cirrhosis and liver-related mortality worldwide, with few effective therapies.

For numerous fundamental processes of life, the formation of certain protein patterns is essential. Protein pattern formation controlled by molecular switches is – like many processes in nature – far ...

Researchers at King’s College London have discovered that an immune protein best known for protecting the body against infection also plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones.
