Microglia respond to proteinopathies by changing their shapes and expression profiles in different ways. Here’s one that has been somewhat overlooked: rod-shaped microglia. These long, straight cells ...

Researchers are using crystallography to gain a better understanding of how proteins shapeshift. The knowledge can provide valuable insight into stopping and treating diseases. Proteins do the heavy ...

Using a novel technology, researchers uncovered shape-shifting properties of a common respiratory virus. Respiratory syncytial virus, more commonly known as RSV, is a highly contagious respiratory ...

Proteomics is moving beyond measuring protein abundance to understanding how proteins change shape, interact and function within the cell. Prof. Paola Picotti, a leading figure in proteomics and a ...
