Rhomboid proteases are a promising target for new drugs. Now researchers from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) have uncovered a mechanism for regulating enzyme activity. The key role is…
Around one third of people with heart disease suffer from sleep problems. In a paper published in the journal Science, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) shows…
…for safer, cheaper, more powerful batteries. A good battery needs two things: high energy density to power devices, and stability, so it can be safely and reliably recharged thousands of…
Carnegie Mellon University researchers design systems allowing robots to explore on their own. A research group in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute is creating the next generation of explorers — robots. The Autonomous…
How can this be done? Rare-earth elements (REEs) are found in smartphones, plasma screens and even artificial joints. As components of wind turbines or electric motors, they play an important…
Structure of an enzyme crucial for tRNA maturation sheds light on cause of neurodegenerative disorders. In all living organisms, the biomolecule transfer RNA (tRNA) plays a fundamental role in protein…
