A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and UC San Diego has uncovered new genetic rules that determine ...

What a mother eats during pregnancy may quietly shape her child’s liver health years down the road—but new research suggests ...

Researchers at Åbo Akademi University have identified a new molecular change in patients with colorectal cancer and developed a genetic disease model that forms tumors in the large intestine, ...
