Researchers have developed a new family of remarkably stable chiral molecules. This work opens up new prospects for the ...

Recent research has identified novel molecular mechanisms by which genetic mutations in the PKD2 gene cause the most common ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

Molecular chaperones play a pivotal role in ensuring proper cellular protein homeostasis through their involvement in protein ...

Creating genomes from DNA is hugely important for managing threatened species—understanding their past and how they have ...

Mitochondria are the body's "energy factories," and their proper function is essential for life. Inside mitochondria, a set of complexes called the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) system acts like ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

By tracking the movement of RNA molecules inside the nucleolus using advanced imaging and genomics techniques, the new method ...

Built-in protein sensors allow noninvasive tracking of molecular assemblies in living cells by Stephen D'Angelo, Cornell University edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors' notes ...
