A SLAC-Stanford study revealed four intermediate steps in folding a human protein called tubulin, all directed by the inner walls of a cellular machine called TRiC (yellow). The process starts when a ...

A landmark study reveals how a tiny cellular machine called TRiC directs the folding of tubulin, a human protein that is the building block of microtubules that serve as the cell's scaffolding and ...

A team of researchers has revealed that the Dumpy protein, a component of extracellular matrices -- or ECM -- is the key factor in regulating the stereotypic origami-like folding of wing-cell sheets.

Menlo Park, Calif. — A landmark study by researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University reveals how a tiny cellular machine called TRiC directs ...
