One of the first things that students learn when they enter a biology class is the central dogma: DNA → messenger RNA → proteins. Only about 3% of the human genome directly codes for proteins, which ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

Researchers have developed a method for studying an important, yet often overlooked, posttranslational modification.

As the “Method of the Year 2024”, spatial proteomics (SP) enables in situ characterization of protein localization, abundance ...

New research from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital outlines how lactate-driven lactylation acts as a metabolic switch controlling ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

There is no known cure for Huntington's disease. A genetic mutation creates harmful proteins that accumulate and cause the disease's typical symptoms. A team from the Department of Human Genetics at ...

Integrating proteomics with systems biology reveals complex cellular networks, improving disease mechanisms understanding and precision medicine applications.
