A cell's identity is based on the genes it expresses, and scientists have been studying gene expression mechanisms for many years. But the process involves molecules that are too small to see, until ...

Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filamentous structures, earning them recognition as the fourth component of the cytoskeleton alongside actin, microtubules and ...

New findings suggest that the body’s own immune cells may play a bigger role in clearing cholesterol than previously understood.

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a team of researchers at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology reports a new, robust computational toolset to extract biological ...

Several European biotechs, including Cellbox Labs, Evotec SE, Nanolive SA, and Salipro Biotech AB, have developed innovative ...

Researchers have discovered a defect in how cells produce exosomes, a problem linked to a mutation found in patients with dementia. They may be incredibly small, but their impact on human health could ...

Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the same physics principle used in AM radio transmission. Cyanobacteria, an ...

When three bright minds from different disciplines come together, something exceptional can happen. This is exactly what Prof ...

Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

Cell-based therapy is progressing quickly, at least in terms of research and development. Important trends include hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation, autologous therapies for wrinkles and ...

An aphorism from the world of chess is applicable to biomanufacturing: “You’ve found a good move—now look for an even better one.” Having achieved leaps-and-bounds improvements in volumetric ...
