Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

In their current study, which has just been published in the journal Nature, they delve deeper into the secrets of the versatile molecular player NAC, uncovering a previously unknown interaction mode ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn as well as the ...

Protein consumption is vital to our muscles, as it stimulates the process of producing new muscle proteins, also called muscle protein synthesis. A new study suggests that this process is stimulated ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A so-called pathological protein long associated with Parkinson's disease has been found in a new study to trigger cells to increase protein synthesis, an event that eventually kills the subset of ...

Long-standing research has shown that consuming dietary protein stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is a critical factor for building and maintaining skeletal muscle mass. Growing evidence has ...

Protein is a dirty aisle. Many powders carry toxic baggage and can do more harm than good. Veracity is raising the standard ...
