Molecular choreography: How the p97 protein regulates cellular quality control

The p97 protein plays a central role in cellular quality control by preparing defective or no-longer-needed proteins for degradation and recycling. Researchers at the University of Münster, in collaboration with the University of Duisburg-Essen, have investigated how p97 and its auxiliary proteins interact in this process. The study has now been published in the journal Nature Communications.

Huge space telescope plunges back to Earth after 22 years in orbit

NASA had previously said much of the observatory burned up upon reentry. The risk to people on Earth was low, the agency said.

  • Swift Observatory, 1.5-ton NASA telescope, orbits Earth for 22 years
  • Failed rescue attempt in July, robot Link couldn't reach telescope
  • Reentry estimated to cause minimal injury risk of 1 in 2,100
