Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification process where the small protein ubiquitin is attached to target proteins, marking them for degradation or altering their function. This ...

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 ...

A new study published in the journal Cell Death & Disease by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has identified a potential therapeutic target for triple-negative breast cancer, or ...

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 ...
