A new study has identified one of the reasons why cancer frequently spreads from elsewhere in the body to the lungs: an amino ...

Imagine you're a scientist, tasked with the challenge of rapidly producing large quantities of high-quality messenger RNA (mRNA) for use in cutting-edge medical treatments. Where do you even start?

Scientists discover a 'mortality timer' in cells, revealing new insights into aging and potential ways to extend lifespan.

Jan. 1, 2025 — Researchers have traced a cellular route Ebola virus (EBOV) uses to traverse the inner and outer layers of skin and emerge onto the skin's surface. The study identifies new cell ...

Smaller nucleoli slow aging, acting as a "mortality timer," while larger nucleoli lead to cell death by destabilizing rDNA. The secret to cellular youth may lie in maintaining a small nucleolus—a ...

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical School (New York, USA) have found a "mortality timer" in the human body. They claim ...

Jan. 2, 2025 — Engineers showed that some types of soil bacteria can influence a plant's balance of growth and defense. The bacteria produce an enzyme that can lower a plant's immune activity ...

Like Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog Day," bacteria species in a Wisconsin lake are in a kind of endless loop that they can't seem to shake. Except in this case, it's more like Groundhog Year.

An exploration of the unanswered questions in how the molecular chaperone Hsp90 supports protein homeostasis, and how single-molecule techniques could drive future breakthroughs in answering them.
