Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the ...

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

Scientists at the VIB–VUB Center for Structural Biology have uncovered a counterintuitive principle that could reshape how ...

Scientists at Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute (WEHI) have made what they describe as a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery by determining the ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations.

Viruses are masters at invading cells thanks to specialized proteins that coat their surfaces. When scientists design ...

Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

Precise intracellular transport is essential for neuronal function, yet the exact mechanism of selective cargo delivery by ...

For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather ...
