A cell's identity is based on the genes it expresses, and scientists have been studying gene expression mechanisms for many years. But the process involves molecules that are too small to see, until ...
Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filamentous structures, earning them recognition as the fourth component of the cytoskeleton alongside actin, microtubules and ...
Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the same physics principle used in AM radio transmission. Cyanobacteria, an ...
Cedars-Sinai investigators have identified several steps in a cellular process responsible for triggering one of the body’s important inflammatory responses. Their findings, published in the ...
Senescence is a process in which a cell ages and stops dividing but does not die. In keratinocytes, or skin cells, senescence is marked by depolarization of membrane potential (Vmem), the electrical ...
Caspases are a family of proteolytic enzymes that play a central role in apoptosis, the regulated process of programmed cell death essential for development, homeostasis and the clearance of damaged ...
Several European biotechs, including Cellbox Labs, Evotec SE, Nanolive SA, and Salipro Biotech AB, have developed innovative ...
When does that seasonal suntan become a risk for melanoma? At what point could those extra pounds trigger diabetes? Could severe head injuries tip one over into Alzheimer’s disease? In the larger ...
Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...
Every year, the media informs us that we’re on the cusp of the golden age of something. While the expected trend often comes to fruition, it’s rarely as smooth a process as advertised. Drug discovery ...
New biological research reveals how an invading virus hijacks a cell's workings by imitating a signaling marker to defeat the body's defenses. By manipulating cell signals, the virus destroys a ...
