During 2014's Ebola outbreak, there were no treatments on hand to fight the virus. Now, researchers have found a human protein that could change that.
A bacterial protein's affinity for the rare-earth metals used in smartphones could make it a great way to detect and collect the materials.
"Archaea are a big area of research now... and they're really cool." New research uncovers how their membranes let them live in extreme environments.
When proteins don't fold into the right shape, they don't work right. New research digs into how cells decide to save or scrap the misfolded proteins.
Scientists have created a simple but effective way to attach drugs or other substances to antibodies. "The efficiency was a surprise."
When levels of the protein are low, the immune system is "unleashed," which can kickstart a rare form of lymphoma.
A key protein that keeps "jumping genes" in check could also prevent the formation of tumors and potentially lead to new cancer treatments.
The discovery may help diagnose and perhaps treat certain types of infertility that end in early miscarriage.
"If we can understand this signaling pathway better, we can manipulate plants to promote growth and disease immunity at the same time."
