A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of ...

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...

Scientists have unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for AIDS, skillfully hijacks cellular machinery for its own survival. By dissecting the molecular interplay between the virus ...

Venki Ramakrishnan’s book is an excellent introduction to ongoing research and has good advice on how to age well.

Proteins are fundamental to life. They are involved in virtually every process within our bodies, from catalyzing chemical ...

Almost all bacterial characteristics (growth rate, cell division, cell composition, DNA structure ... and processes (translation at the ribosome) have one or even several sensory roles, as ...

Resistance evolution in response to stimulatory antibiotics is driven by epigenetic modifications and mutations in metabolic ...

Jan. 16, 2025 — The American Cancer Society (ACS) today released Cancer Statistics, 2025, the organization's annual report on cancer facts and trends. The new findings show the cancer mortality ...

The current human tissue-based study provides convincing evidence correlating hippocampal expressions of RNA guanine-rich G-quadruplexes with aging and with Alzheimer's Disease presence and severity.

The authors present new expression analysis software (TEKRABber) to help analyze expression correlations between transposable elements (TEs) and KRAB zinc finger (KRAB-ZNF) genes in experimentaly ...
