Northwestern Medicine scientists have zeroed in on a cellular gatekeeper that may hold promise for treating abnormal protein ...

A newly identified mechanism lends credence to the idea that MS may be treatable by targeting EBV-infected B-cells, a study found.

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is ...

Targeted inhibition of a "signal jammer" protein may improve how tumors respond to immunotherapy. Published today in Nature, a new study demonstrates how some cancer cells use the protein ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have uncovered a surprising new way to influence brain activity by targeting a long-mysterious class of proteins linked to anxiety, schizophrenia, and movement disorders.

Inside the race to turn one of cell biology’s least understood processes into a new foundation for drug development and production.
