A combination of natural microtubules and synthetic macrocyclic receptors allows for the light-controlled, reversible aggregation of the microtubules into larger nanostructures. When in a cellular ...

A new study suggests a novel form of protein aggregation that is both reversible and has positive physiological consequences for cells. The discovery may eventually lead to new therapies for ...

In eukaryotic cells, heat stress triggers aggregation of proteins and RNA into heat-shock granules (HSGs). However, the formation and composition of HSGs remain poorly understood. Drummond and ...

Protein aggregates that form after a cell is exposed to high, non-lethal temperatures appear to be part of an organized response to stress, and not the accumulation of damaged proteins en route to ...

Polymer–colloid composites represent an attractive class of hybrid materials in which one can tailor their properties by exploiting the individual and collective properties of both components 1,2,3,4.

Nearly half of all drug shortages in 2022 were caused by quality issues or manufacturing delays, according to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Evaluating the critical quality ...

To cook an omelette, you have to scramble an egg, and like Humpty Dumpty it can never be put back together again. This is because the egg undergoes a set of physiological and chemical changes as it ...
