Defeating the yokozuna, the highest ranked professional sumo wrestlers, is almost impossible. Stopping sumoylation, the modification of proteins with small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMO) may be easier...
Imagine being able to turn on and off an individual neuron remotely—without prodding it with electrodes or challenging it with chemicals. Sound like a neuroscientist's dream?...
Researchers studying the ubiquitination pathway may be interested in a new technique that can measure ubiquitination—and deubiquitination—in real time...
Various antibiotics have been shown to protect against neurodegenerative diseases, not necessarily through antimicrobial action. Can one of them, rifampicin, prevent the formation of α-synuclein aggregates?...
