Numerous BYU students, including Mikaila Sass (pictured), worked with Dr. Willardson in his lab on this discovery. The human body heavily relies on protein molecules for proper functioning. Protein ...

In order to fulfill their many functions, proteins must be folded into the correct shape. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered tiny "folding factories" in cells that enable ...

There are hundreds of diseases affecting humans that result from errors in cellular production of its proteins. A team led by researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, report they ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism steering the evolution of multicellular life. They identified how altered protein folding drives multicellular evolution. Researchers have discovered a ...

Heat shock protein 70 chaperones exert neuroprotective effects by preventing aggregation and regulating the proteostasis of pathological protein via its degradation. Neurodegenerative diseases such as ...

The first full-length structures of two heat shock chaperone proteins in a complex reveal the key structural region regulating their function, according to a new study from St. Jude Children's ...

"Science is teamwork. Lone wolves no longer exist," Peter Walter, researcher and professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and former president of the American Society for Biochemistry ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...
