A protein’s life is anything but simple. Discover how transcription, translation, folding, modification, and degradation work together to preserve proteome integrity.

Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...

In a major advance for molecular biology and cancer research, scientists have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that control a key step during the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) – the ...

Researchers at the MPI for Terrestrial Microbiology have designed and constructed a new synthetic CO 2-fixation pathway, the so-called THETA cycle. “Bringing parts of the THETA cycle into living cells ...
