Spartan researchers help show how omnipresent biomolecular machines with important health implications transport metals
Michigan State University researcher Jian Hu has taken another important step in learning as much as possible about tiny protein machines that help shuttle metals into living cells.
This latest step, published in the journal Nature Communications, provides detailed new insights into how these machines work. Though this is a study in fundamental biology, Hu and his team are working to use this knowledge to develop new cancer therapies and enable people to live healthier lives.
