Lipids are difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, a Dresden-based team led by ...

Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains—named the Lipocone superfamily—and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...

Researchers in Hamburg and Göttingen have generated a mini-antibody that neutralizes a protein essential for the infection ...

Steven McKnight and Dirk Görlich received the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for their work on the role of ...

The flexible stalk region of sTREM2 binds the Ig-like domain, altering stability and ligand accessibility—a biochemically testable mechanism with broad implications for (s)TREM2 biology and rational ...

The molecule Wnt, which plays a role in cell communication during human development, evolved from a superfamily with a shared lipid-modifying mechanism originally involved in bacterial defence and ...

This new wellness trend brings us right back to the building blocks of what it means to be healthy The sci-fi era of wellness ...

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged – for instance by heat or viral attack – specialized proteins come to the rescue. Researchers at ...
