Scientists at the University of Basel have discovered tiny "folding plants" in cells, without which proteins such as insulin cannot form properly.
A research team at the University of Basel has now discovered a kind of "folding factory" in which proteins are folded flawlessly and efficiently. In the absence of these factories, this can lead to diseases such as diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases.
Previously unknown ’folding factories’ for proteins
11.08.2025 - In order to fulfil their many functions, proteins must be folded into the correct shape. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered tiny 'folding factories' in cells that enable efficient and accurate protein folding. A lack of these structures can lead to diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.
