Proteins are complex molecules that are made up of amino acids. They can be found in every cell in the body, and carry out vital processes that keep human beings alive. Mutations in proteins can lead to a multitude of diseases, the most common being cancer.

Alzheimer's markers show crucial differences across diverse global populations

Established Alzheimer's markers are also detected in blood samples from Nigeria and Tanzania. But other proteins in the blood differ from those seen in a comparable group in Canada.

Researchers identify genes that hinder CRISPR editing efficiency

Like a delivery driver navigating crowded city streets, a gene-therapy-toting lipid nanoparticle faces a gauntlet of potential detours on its journey toward a cell's nucleus.

New antibody-specific AI framework accelerates discovery of therapeutic drugs

Designing an effective antibody drug is like searching for the right key in a warehouse of locks. Scientists may begin with millions-or even billions-of antibody candidates, but only a tiny fraction will recognize and bind tightly to the disease target.

Study sheds new light on the physiological roles of protein quality control at the ribosome

Scientists at the Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC) and the CECAD Cluster of Excellence on Aging Research have demonstrated in a biomedical study that ribosomes, the protein factories of our cells, face an unusually tough challenge when building large, membrane‑embedded proteins.

Liver’s internal clock coordinates daily metabolic communication, study finds

What if one of the keys to a healthier metabolism is understanding how and when the liver communicates with the rest of the body?

Later-life estrogen therapy associated with lower risk of developing dementia

Use of hormone therapy later in life was associated with lower risk of developing dementia, according to a study published August 12, 2026, in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Personalized T-cell therapy eliminates advanced kidney tumor in teenager

Researchers and physicians at the Hopp Children's Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ) and other leading cancer centers report an exceptional treatment success in an adolescent with an advanced, therapy-resistant kidney tumor.

Mitochondrial rewiring may explain why orthoflaviviruses harm humans but persist in mosquitoes

Orthoflaviviruses reshape mitochondrial structure, metabolism, redox signaling, and quality control differently across human and mosquito models, helping explain their contrasting infection outcomes. The review highlights mitochondrial pathways that may support acute cellular damage in vertebrates but persistent, non-lethal infection in mosquitoes, pointing to potential antiviral targets.

AI-based methods help uncover hidden roots of tumor metastasis

A cancerous tumor is not a single enemy. It is made up of many different cell populations that can behave in very different ways.

Mitochondrial gene RTN4IP1 drives triple-negative breast cancer metastasis

Triple-negative breast cancer accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancer cases. It is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 expression, rendering it insensitive to conventional endocrine and targeted therapies.

Researchers find unexpected protein regulator of leukemia drug sensitivity

How cells respond to the leukemia drug 6-thioguanine still holds surprises: A new study, led by researchers from CeMM and the University of Oxford identifies NUDT5 as an unexpected regulator of drug sensitivity and reveals that its role has nothing to do with its enzymatic activity.

Dysregulated immune cells drive hidden inflammation after heart attacks

People with narrowing of the coronary arteries have low-grade, uncontrolled inflammation in the body, even if they are symptom-free and receiving optimal treatment.

Cannabis compounds may weaken glioblastoma response to chemotherapy and radiation

Several cannabinoids reduced chemotherapy- and radiation-induced apoptosis in glioblastoma cell models, with effects linked to reduced apoptotic priming, increased pro-survival signaling, and G1 cell-cycle arrest. The findings raise concern that cannabinoid exposure could interfere with some cancer treatments, although the results are limited to laboratory models and require in vivo and clinical validation.

Researchers tracked biological aging for decades and found a striking pattern in women

Accelerated biological age in midlife was associated with higher risks of cardiovascular disease and death in both men and women over nearly three decades of follow-up. Women with accelerated biological age also showed a higher risk of dementia, although adding biological age to standard risk factors provided only minimal additional predictive value.

Senescent brain immune cells secrete protein linked to cognitive decline

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 Cornell Medicine.

Shared cellular pathway drives neurodegeneration in rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer’s

Researchers at University of California San Diego and their colleagues have identified a key cellular pathway that drives brain degeneration in both a rare childhood disorder and the far more common Alzheimer's disease.

Nocturnal micro-awakenings linked to genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease

What if certain signs of the disease were to manifest themselves subtly during sleep, long before the first memory problems appear? This is the line of inquiry being explored by a team of researchers at ULiège, with the support of the Stop Alzheimer's Foundation.
