The nucleolus is where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is transcribed, processed, and assembled into the building blocks of ribosomes, the molecular machines that make proteins. Researchers discovered that rRNA ...

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein manufacture has long ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have created the world's simplest artificial cell capable ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the ...

New research from Professor Guillermo Ameer’s team shows how a shape change of a cell’s nucleus can trigger regenerative ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...

Several groups hope to develop artificial-intelligence models that can predict how cells behave.

A cell tower construction project in Mulberry has sparked controversy among residents because of potential health and safety concerns. Residents are worried about the tower's proximity to a ...

Investigating chromatin's 3D architecture reveals its influence on gene regulation, shedding light on mechanisms underlying ...
