Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three ...

Discover how a miniature model of the human liver can help improve toxicology testing for food contaminants, reducing the ...

Unlike virtually every other cell in the human body, the syncytiotrophoblast doesn't have a single nucleus. It has roughly 10 ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle that appears to be crucial for reproduction. This is important because ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...

As therapies and antibiotics develop and improve, pathogens adapt to overcome current medications. Bacteria are a specific organism that can adapt quickly | Immunology ...

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...
