Researchers give more insight into unknown ways cells break proteins
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Short-lived proteins control gene expression in cells to carry out a variety of crucial functions, from aiding in the formation of neural connections to supporting the body's immune system. These proteins are created in the nucleus and, after performing their function, are promptly eliminate

Immune molecule's complex role in Huntington's disease: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
More than a decade before people with Huntington's disease show symptoms, they can exhibit abnormally high levels of an immune-system molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has led many researchers to suspect IL-6 of promoting the eventual neurological devastation associated with the ge
