Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...
Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...
Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.
The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...
Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular "gate" that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide, a crucial signaling molecule throughout biology that in humans helps regulate ...

The life cycle of a protein

A protein’s life is anything but simple. Discover how transcription, translation, folding, modification, and degradation work together to preserve proteome integrity.
Safety development in Formula 1 has never been a single project with a start and end date. It is a continuous process that ...
Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...
The performance of single-component organic solar cells is highly dependent on spacer. However, the role of spacer attachment position—a critical structural parameter of double-cable polymers—remains ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...
