In a study published in PNAS, a multi-institutional research team led by Osaka University has revealed that the interaction between two specific proteins is crucial for ensuring that sperm cells ...

Researchers have unveiled the first real look at a mitochondrial protein strongly linked to Parkinson's disease, revealing ...

When paired with resistance training, a diet rich in protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats can help enhance muscle ...

Once again, scientists don’t believe that wheat is more complex than humans, so they kept searching for a genetic factor that drives complexity. Instead of using genome size or the number of ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Every organism on Earth is a well-oiled machine in its own environment. It makes sense then that every piece of every process ...

TEDC1 and TEDC2, functions in generating centriolar triplet microtubules, and that this is crucial for the proper formation of centriolar subdomains and the stability of centrioles throughout the cell ...

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions.

Now, researchers from Japan have reported a newly discovered protein interaction that regulates sperm development. Sperm formation is a highly complex process that involves many changes to the ...

This complex regulates S-palmitoylation of the proteins that are essential for generating functional sperm with the correct morphology,” says Kaneda. Given that sperm shape and structure are key ...

Researchers found that TEX38 and ZDHHC19 co-localize on the plasma membrane of spermatids and mediate S-palmitoylation of ARRDC5, a crucial protein for spermatogenesis. Disrupting either TEX38 or ...
