Leveraging its integrated "design-synthesis-quality control" system, Creative Biolabs is overcoming bottlenecks in mRNA ...

Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...

High-resolution imaging shows how MraZ breaks and deforms to attach to repeated DNA sequences, activating the gene cluster ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

It’s one of the big claims about the nutrient. We asked experts if there was evidence to back it up. By Alice Callahan For Mima Mendoza, 34, protein has become the “anchor” to all of her meals.

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...
