In the human body, molecules known as kinases propagate signals within and between cells, relaying signals that allow cells to respond to changes in the environment. But there are hundreds of ...

A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer ...

Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...

A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been ...

Immunotherapy is one of the pillars in the fight against cancer and aims to enable the body's own immune system to fight a tumor. A recent study now shows that removing certain enzymes that regulate ...

Supercharging immune cells could provide an effective way to tackle cancer, according to new research by scientists in Scotland.

Study reveals how an RNA enzyme drives the postnatal switch from glucose to fatty acids in heart cells, highlighting ketogenesis as essential for metabolism. Study: The tRNA methyltransferase Mettl1 ...

Switching off a single enzyme in immune cells protected mice from obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease in a new study, offering a potential new treatment target for metabolic disorders.

Sugars known as glycans form dense envelopes around cells. But they’re often ignored in biological investigations because, unlike DNA, proteins and other cellular components, tools to study them are ...

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...
