Glioblastoma is the most prevalent and aggressive brain tumor. It proliferates very rapidly, is highly invasive, and there is ...

The concept of "good fats" and "bad fats" has influenced diet trends, public health policy, and biomedical research for ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz developed a faster way to screen enzyme variants, helping scientists identify promising drug-making molecules much earlier and easing a major bottleneck in biocatalysis ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...

Researchers found a "garbage man" enzyme that tags toxic clumps of proteins in the brain for removal, and saw a correlation ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...
