A study by WEHI scientists has shed new light on one of the most fundamental mysteries of biology: how cells divide and grow into the complex structures that make up our bodies.
For the past five years, researchers at Leipzig University have been working on fundamentally new methods for selectively assembling gaseous, charged molecular fragments into new, complex molecules. The synthesized substances ...
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics have developed a novel synthetic micropeptide termed the "killswitch" to selectively immobilize proteins within cellular condensates, unveiling crucial connections ...
When West Virginia University biology undergraduate student Isabella Tuzzio tested fish from central Appalachian streams, her research revealed microplastics in every fish she sampled.
A research team from The University of Osaka and the Institute of Science Tokyo has developed a class of mRNA medicines that can sense changes in the body and autonomously adjust their therapeutic effect. This innovation ...
Three-dimensional immunohistochemistry (3D-IHC) has transformed our ability to visualize the spatial arrangement of cells and molecules in intact tissues. However, traditional methods are often time-consuming and suffer from ...
Land use change and the increased agrochemical use associated with agricultural intensification significantly alter farmland biodiversity and associated ecosystem services worldwide. Vineyards as ecologically, culturally, ...
Scientists have unlocked new details on important receptor proteins—promising targets for the creation of novel drugs for metabolic conditions ranging from diabetes to obesity and inflammatory disorders.
Experiments lead to a greater understanding, deeper insights, and sometimes they even bear fruit. That was certainly the case last summer at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), where ...
Modern humans have existed for more than 200,000 years, and each new generation has begun with a single cell—dividing, changing shape and function, organizing into tissues, organs, and limbs. With slight variations, the ...
