Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

AHNAK, a colossal scaffolding protein of approximately 700 kDa, has emerged as a critical player in various cellular functions, most notably in the regulation of cell architecture, signalling and ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase a key brain protein damaged in Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects thousands of children worldwide. Early studies in mice and ...
