Researchers have found a way to trap telomerase, the enzyme cancer cells rely on for endless division, in a stalled and ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge. New CU Boulder research, published in the ...

Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...

AMES, Iowa – The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has demonstrated a stubborn ability to resist most nucleoside antiviral treatments, but a new study led by an Iowa State University scientist could ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa have worked out the exact function of an enzyme that is critical for normal muscle structure and is involved in several muscular dystrophies. The findings, which ...

New research shows that oncolytic viruses, which are engineered to destroy cancer cells, might be more effective in treating deadly brain tumors if equipped with an enzyme that helps them penetrate ...

Collagen is an important protein that helps build the tissues of humans and animals. It is very strong because it is made of ...

"Using a combination of enzyme activity and metabolite profiling, we determined that this protein-whose function was previously unknown-serves as a key regulator of a lipid signaling network that ...

Exercise boosts a liver enzyme, GPLD1, that helps protect the brain. The enzyme removes TNAP, a protein that weakens the blood-brain barrier with age. Lowering TNAP improved memory in mice, offering ...
