As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they serve as the catalysts for virtually every biochemical reaction that occurs in living things.

A new study by EPFL scientists shows that age-related decline in motor ability can be countered in fruit flies by enhancing the expression of the protein Trio, suggesting potential treatments for ...

The chloroplast protein transport system includes a motor protein complex, which plays a critical driving role in the translocation of precursor proteins across the chloroplast membrane.

However, computer devices don’t change as a result of performing their jobs, unlike neurons. Storing and processing memories uses nanoscopic motor proteins called kinesin that move materials around ...

A funding boost of more than £78 million will help UCL scientists working to develop a potential treatment for motor neurone ...

A new "toolkit" to repair damaged DNA that can lead to aging, cancer and motor neuron disease (MND) has been discovered by ...
