Columbia scientists have found that boosting the performance of a self-cleansing system in the brain helps flush amyloid and tau toxins from the brains of mice and improves the animals' cognition.

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) are being considered for use in treating everything from snakebites to cancer. A Nature Communications paper, out this week, describes how Australian ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane. Botanists have come to understand the channels and ...

Pi plays crucial metabolic and structural roles in living organisms. It is essential for bioenergetics (ATP, GTP), metabolic regulation through glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, intercellular ...

In cooperation with researchers from the China University of Petroleum, the working group of Dr. Werner Nau, Professor of Chemistry at Constructor University, has demonstrated the effectiveness of a ...
