Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Here is the ultimate vision of systems biology: an entire living cell modeled on a computer. Type in a genetic mutation or ...

New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...

Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to ...

The research focuses on cells’ “feet,” which are small bundles of molecules that help cells move. Scientists are exploring ...

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

Scientists pave way to stopping aggressive cancers before they spread - The discovery could pave the way for treatments to ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide ...
