Eating enough protein is crucial to maintain and grow strong muscles, speed up recovery after exercise, and support many bodily functions. Protein is an essential macronutrient along with ...

Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery of binding partners invisible to single-molecule techniques. (Nanowerk ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that TDP43 controls a key DNA repair process, but when the protein becomes ...

Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...

Data from a new study in mice connects unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA, to inflammation-linked premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The findings reveal a previously ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

Real-World Plasma Thymidine Kinase Activity in High-Risk and Metastatic Hormone Receptor–Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Negative Breast Cancer Treated With Cyclin-Dependent Kinase ...

Whether it’s at the gym, in a doctor's or dietitian's office or simply while shopping at the grocery store, it’s hard to miss the constant reminders to eat more protein. After all, protein-boosted ...

For many people, the main takeaway from the newly released Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) is: “Eat more protein.” It’s true that the inverted pyramid graphic issued with the guidelines ...

Since 2010, Consumer Reports has conducted independent, unbiased tests of protein powders and shakes to identify products contaminated with troubling levels of toxic heavy metals. Our fall 2025 tests ...
