Researchers have developed ProtSAVI, an R-based dashboard that combines protein structure analysis with ACMG/AMP criteria to ...

Plants—like people—come in all shapes and sizes. And just like scientists want to understand the components of the human body ...

A new PLOS Pathogens study shows that the interferon-induced GTPase GBP7 unexpectedly promotes HSV-1 infection by activating ...

Brain-resident immune cells that have reached an old-age state called "senescence" secrete a protein that causes dysfunction in other brain cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill ...

Researchers at King's College London have discovered that an immune protein best known for protecting the body against infection also plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones. The research ...

To sense their environment and respond accordingly, cells enlist membrane proteins as communication hubs, receiving molecular messages from outside and triggering responses inside. One of these ...

Having a certain ratio of proteins produced by immune cells in your blood is linked to a higher risk of age-related diseases, scientists report.

As we age, our immune system quietly loses its edge, and scientists have uncovered a surprising reason why. A protein called platelet factor 4 naturally declines over time, allowing blood stem cells ...

T cells are specialized immune cells responsible for identifying and targeting infections. When the body experiences infection or disease, immune cells generate an immune response that neutralizes and ...
