A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.

How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Researchers have created a deep learning pipeline for designing soluble analogues of key protein structures used in pharmaceutical development, sidestepping the prohibitive cost of extracting these ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins: when molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" ...

Scientists uncovered how the amino acid leucine enhances mitochondrial efficiency by preserving crucial proteins that drive ...

Once a sperm has broken through to an egg cell in order to fertilize it, the two cells need to hold together tightly. This ...

Cancer immunotherapy, especially using T cells, is showing a lot of promise in treating blood cancers. Bioengineered T cells, ...
