Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

which are the precursors of the adult cells. In a recent article published in PLOS Biology, a team led by researchers at ...

5 Gene regulation ensures that genes are expressed at the right times and in the right cells. Techniques such as Polymerase ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little "organs" ...

Nov. 7, 2024 — Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome ...

Under this two-hit model, Brugge says, one normal copy of BRCA1 ought to be able to carry out DNA repair even when the other copy is inactivated by an inherited mutation. This means that a total loss ...

Scientists have successfully immortalized lip cells, creating a clinically relevant lab model that enables testing of new ...

The study of immune biology in the context of infectious and inflammatory diseases is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field. Current research is focused on unravelling the complex mechanisms by which ...

Researchers reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected 'second jobs' within the nucleus, orchestrating critical ...

Tool use isn't unique to humans. Chimpanzees use sticks as tools. Dolphins, crows, and elephants are known for their tool-use ...

Researchers had given up on achieving photosynthesis in animals, Professor Sachihiro Matsunaga told Newsweek, but that didn't stop him and his colleagues.

Researchers developed CpGPT, a novel foundation model for DNA methylation analysis that captures sequence, positional, and ...
