Researchers from China and the UK have discovered a protein complex that supports nutrient homeostasis and lignin polymerization in plants, thus suggesting a way to improve water and nutrient ...

When chemists think about polymerization, they typically envision a wormlike polymer growing smoothly and continuously from a catalyst. But the actual view of how polymer growth unfolds has remained ...

Researchers have identified new molecular components of the machinery that regulates formation of the tentacle-like filaments by which immune system T cells grasp other cells. This embrace by such ...
