Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.

Around 80% of proteins involved in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative illnesses do not have a stable structure. These proteins, known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can quickly ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...

A new research paper featured on the cover of Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US was published on October 30, 2025, titled "SAMP ...

Every function in a cell is associated with a particular protein or group of proteins, typically in a well-defined ...

University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A University of Iowa-led study ...

Two complementary studies led by researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS ...

IIT-Bombay study reveals how hypoxia alters membrane lipids, enhancing pancreatic cancer cell migration and metastasis.

Some cancers can "shapeshift" and start to resemble cells from other organs. New research has identified the proteins ...

New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform into more invasive, drug-resistant versions of themselves. A protein called ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...
