Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

Let’s be real—most people think building muscle is all about lifting weights, but that’s only half the story. The ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Maintaining muscle as we age helps keep us strong, mobile and independent. Dietitians recommend prioritizing ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

A protein engineering method using simple, cost-effective experiments and machine learning models can predict which proteins will be effective for a given purpose, according to a new study. A protein ...

Switching to a plant-forward diet doesn’t mean sacrificing muscle mass or energy levels. These five versatile staples prove that you can optimize your protein intake while enjoying the ...

The benefits of whey protein include faster recovery, muscle support and an efficient way to increase daily protein intake.
