The development of molecular materials whose physical properties can be controlled by external stimuli — such as light, electric field, temperature, and pressure — has recently attracted much ...

In a recent study under review at the Scientific Reports journal and currently posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers synthesized and evaluated the antitumoral (against several ...

Covalent drugs block protein function by forming a specific bond between the ligand and target protein. A covalent mechanism of action can provide many pharmacological advantages over a reversible ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...

Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no ...

Many everyday foods and seasonings—such as herbs, spices, and aromatic plants—contain natural compounds called phytochemicals that can regulate inflammatory pathways. For centuries, these ingredients ...
