Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...
A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole ...
Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...
