One of the first things that students learn when they enter a biology class is the central dogma: DNA → messenger RNA → proteins. Only about 3% of the human genome directly codes for proteins, which ...
Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...
The Warburg effect describes how cancer cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis even in oxygen-rich conditions, producing massive amounts of lactate that accumulate in the tumor ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Cell Biology, researchers investigated how N-acetyltransferase (NAT)-mediated post-translational modification, acetylhypusination, regulates insulin ...
