Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
The discovery of catalytic RNA transformed our understanding of life's beginnings. Clare Sansom explores how the RNA world ...
As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...
Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...
Cells operate on rules not vibes, including when on the precipice of persisting or perishing. Yet, with prior research ...
Tianren Zhang, Yao Tang and professor Darrin Pochan developed protein-based building blocks, called bundlemers, for advanced ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones—from fish and frogs to ...
A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein.
Two UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in controlling the liver's ...
The cytokine-producing signal protein, a target for drug hunters, has additional activators that could be manipulated ...
