Researchers find chemical inhibitor of nonapoptotic programmed cell-death process called 'necroptosis'

The biochemical pathway that senses amino acid deficiencies in yeast is also at work in mammals, according to researchers at the University of California, Davis.

Figuring out how denatured proteins morph into their folded, active forms isn't just a challenge; it's one of the most elusive problems in biology.
