Researchers reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected 'second jobs' within the nucleus, orchestrating critical ...

Scientists have successfully immortalized lip cells, creating a clinically relevant lab model that enables testing of new ...

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have made a major discovery in how human ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

Professor Meritxell Huch, a director at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions.

Metabolic enzymes, typically associated with energy production, are now discovered to also play essential roles in the nucleus, such as orchestrating cell division and DNA repair. This breakthrough, ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

For decades, biology textbooks have neatly compartmentalised cellular functions. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, the cytoplasm is a bustling factory floor for protein synthesis, and the ...

Tool use isn’t unique to humans. Chimpanzees use sticks as tools. Dolphins, crows, and elephants are known for their tool-use ...

5 Gene regulation ensures that genes are expressed at the right times and in the right cells. Techniques such as Polymerase ...
