The protein Orco is essential for smell neuron function and development in ants, fostering the insects’ social behavior, researchers report.

Researchers have identified the protein that enables mammals to sense cold, filling a long-standing gap in the field of sensory biology.

"If we can unravel the mechanisms at play here, we might be able to block this protein and stop ticks from spreading the bacteria to people..."

The same protein that signifies Alzheimer's disease is also a driver of the life-threatening pregnancy condition of preeclampsia.

Two small, targeted proteins could one day be administered as a nasal spray to treat, or even prevent, COVID-19.

"...specific N-glycans seem to regulate the development and functional maturation of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein."

The new design "could be used not just for SARS-CoV-2 and other related viruses, but also for other clinically important pathogenic viruses."

Researchers have designed a protein that could keep the immune system in balance and prevent disease like arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

Researchers report a way to deliver a protein to the brain quickly, effectively, and briefly. The protein degrades naturally after performing its task.

A new discovery may bring researchers closer to better, more personalized treatments for some of the deadliest forms of cancer.
