PS: It’s not cholesterol - Disease-related proteins carry surprising cargo 11 Aug 2013 | 10:00 pm
How our body processes cholesterol has a well-known impact on our health, but it turns out that another ‘fat molecule’ may be at the heart of some diseases previously thought to involve cholesterol, s...
From fireman to arsonist - Secret life of a cancer-related protein revealed by 3D structure 11 Aug 2013 | 10:00 pm
A protein that prevents cells becoming cancerous can turn into an oncogene, scientists at the EMBL Grenoble have discovered. The finding, published today in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, st...
Cells eat themselves into shape - Specialised endocytocis consumes membrane tendrils 7 Aug 2013 | 05:00 pm
To quickly smooth out their surface, cells in the fruit fly embryo ‘suck in’ long tubes of membrane in a specialised type of endocytosis, scientists at EMBL Heidelberg have found. The study, published...
How to build your gate - New approach solves large molecular puzzles 11 Jul 2013 | 11:00 pm
Decade-old controversy over structure of nuclear pore solved, thanks to new method in which EMBL scientists combine thousands of super-resolution microscopy images to reach a precision below one nanom...
But what does it do? - Most complete database to date of human phosphatases and their substrates 15 May 2013 | 01:00 am
It is now easier to pinpoint exactly what molecules a phosphatase – a type of protein that’s essential for cells to react to their environment – acts upon in human cells, thanks to the free online dat...
