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

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic ...

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, ...

What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this ...

Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Residents near the site of a proposed 150-foot cell tower north of Cheyenne have voiced objections to the project, which was approved by county commissioners last week.

China has begun construction of a new structure in waters between China and Japan in the disputed East China Sea, the Japanese foreign ministry said on Tuesday, adding it has lodged a protest with ...
