Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...

On the flipside, if telomeres are too long, it can also spell trouble because cancer cells require long telomeres to become longer lived, ‘immortal,’” says Mia Levine, associate professor of biology ...

Genes are only part of your story.

New research shows how cancer cells use a vitamin B7-dependent pathway to survive in the absence of glutamine, revealing ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the intricate processes ...

Podar and colleagues created synthetic nanobodies for the radiopharmaceutical project by inserting synthetic genes into E. coli bacteria, fine-tuning conditions like temperature and adding sequence ...

A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has made a breakthrough discovery in understanding the molecular ...

Researchers from two labs in the Human Biology division at Fred Hutch Cancer Center recently published two studies aimed at better understanding how a notorious gene fusion — ZFTA-RELA — drives rare ...

Through a series of experiments supported by the National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) researchers say ...

For men and women suffering from medical conditions and diseases so rare they are practically unheard of, finding a cure – or ...
