That’s an advantage, and we’ve shown we can get a very good result in killing different types of cancer cells.” Zhou’s previous cell experiments demonstrated that a protein capable of generating ...

Protein has become a major focus in the American diet, and for good reason. Research shows that protein is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system, supporting weight management, and ...

A study published in the journal Nature Communications explores the origin of chloroplasts, the plastids that allow plants to extract carbon from the atmosphere to build their own structures and ...

Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.

In photosynthesis, harnessing the power of the sun is made possible by the flow of electrons from one protein to another inside an organelle called the chloroplast. This organelle contains a ...

You don't necessarily have to rely on high-protein foods like meat, fish, or chicken to get the protein you need. High-protein cheese is an option for adding more protein to your diet. Protein is ...

Thirteen proteins linked to brain aging in humans are identified in a Nature Aging paper. Changes in the concentrations of these blood proteins may peak at 57, 70, and 78 years old in humans ...

Credit: Graphic by Chao Le To solve the puzzle, the research team used single-cell time-lapse microscopy and mathematical modeling. With the time-lapse microscopy, they tracked expression of a protein ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy, must adjust itself to changes in the intensity of sunlight, so as to ...
