Rhomboid proteases are a promising target for new drugs. Now researchers from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) have uncovered a mechanism for regulating enzyme ...

Cell membranes are both controlled borders with the outside world as well as dynamic platforms for organizing cell signalling, metabolic pathways, and ultrastructure assembly. All of these key events ...

Endoplasmic reticulum–associated degradation (ERAD) is a cellular protein quality-control process that disposes of proteasomal substrates from the early secretory pathway. Recent work shows that the ...

The rhomboid major muscle is located in the back region and helps keep the scapula, or shoulder blade, attached to the ribcage. It also rotates the scapula and retracts it towards the spinal column.

Pain in the rhomboid muscles can be caused by ligament sprain, muscle or tendon strain, or muscle spasms. The rhomboid muscles are a group of muscles in your upper back. They are located on either ...
