Insights into the structures could lead to improved treatment strategies for transthyretin amyloidosis, a progressive, fatal disease in men.

Monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs, are important tools in medicine. These laboratory-made proteins are widely used in treatments ...

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

Now, Scripps Research scientists have uncovered new structures of transthyretin. Their findings, published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology on January 22, 2025, show how the three-dimension ...

Samples of Bennu were brought back to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in 2023. Now, a pair of newly published papers ...

The Bennu discovery helps to illuminate how, early in the Solar System’s history, asteroids and other planetary building blocks were not just “lumps of stone and ice, but active ‘living’ objects”, ...

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

Scientists detected all five nucleobases -- building blocks of DNA and RNA -- in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.
