Kevin Courtney, assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine in the WVU School of Medicine, is leading an investigation into how glitches during cellular self-cleaning ...

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 ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls constitutive exocytosis: the uninterrupted delivery of spherical molecular packages to ...

Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and across large cell populations. A revolutionary new tool, developed at the ...

Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten. In a groundbreaking study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...
