Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize ...

Scientists at Stanford University have created a faster way to design enzymes. They use machine learning, computer models, and “cell-free systems” to predict how enzymes will behave.

Cancer cells in particular have long been thought to depend on the energy obtained through glycolysis, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. Today we know that cancer cells can use energy ...

Researchers identify enzyme key to training cells to fight autoimmune disorders The discovery of a new signaling pathway in immune cells may lay the foundation for drug-free, side-effect-free ...

Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys have shown for the first time that inhibiting a key metabolic enzyme selectively kills melanoma cells and stops tumor growth. The team, led by Ze’ev Ronai ...

An enzyme called MARK2 has been identified as a key stress-response switch in cells in a study by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Overactivation of this type of stress ...

In the absence of PRDX1, cells accumulate replication stress and DNA damage, leading to proliferation defects that are exacerbated in the presence of etoposide, thus revealing a role for PRDX1 as ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, enlists the help of two enzymes on the surface of human cells in order to invade them. A new study suggests that a compound that inhibits both enzymes ...

"Men's blood contains greater concentrations of enzyme that helps COVID-19 infect cells." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 10 May 2020. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2020 / 05 / 200510193241.htm>.

Evidence from a large study of several thousand patients shows that men have higher concentrations of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in their blood than women. Since ACE2 enables the ...
