The coming together of two proteins in a process called dimerization is a key step in causing cancerous cell replication in certain tumors in mice.
Researchers have implicated alternative splicing in key steps in the progression of cancer.
Researchers show how individual molecular motor proteins walk hand over hand along the filaments that make up the structural support of a cell.
Penn researchers have found that tRNA doesn't just shuttle genetic cargo: It also helps to control programmed cell death, which eliminates damaged cells from the body.
