Cornell University researchers have identified a calcium-sensitive structural “gate” inside a bacterial enzyme that toggles ...

Under stress, animal cells pair inactive ribosomes into RNA-linked disomes. A ribosomal RNA “kissing loop” joins them, protecting ribosomes and reducing protein synthesis to conserve energy.<br /> ...

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their ...

Fruit flies, mice, zebra fish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on their backs.Author Marc ...

Researchers at Nagoya University have reported that ovarian cancer cells form hybrid clusters with mesothelial cells in abdominal fluid, a process that appears to accelerate tissue invasion and ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

DNA, the genetic blueprints in every living organism, is nature's most efficient storage mechanism, capable of storing about 215 million gigabytes of data per gram. That storage capacity, if applied ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

Depending on others for something you need may feel like a risky proposition—and perhaps a human one. It is actually a ...

A new study sheds light on the behavior of yeast cells in the gut, paving the way for new lines of yeast that more efficiently produce therapeutic drugs tailored to address specific diseases. "Yeast ...
