For cells to function properly, they must produce the right amount of each protein. It is a delicate balance: Both too little ...

A review published in the journal Molecular Biomedicine provides a comprehensive overview of the METTL family, a group of methyltransferase-like proteins crucial for cellular function. METTL family ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

A team led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a genome-scale reference map that details ...

Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University of Cambridge in collaboration with colleagues at HHMI Janelia and NIH, have created some of the most detailed three-dimensional maps ever ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

Support cellular energy by improving mitochondrial health for better stamina, sharper focus, healthier aging, and long-term ...

The human body has long been studied through the lens of chemistry and electrical signaling, but an emerging field of research is adding a fascinating new dimension: light. Scientists have discovered ...
