New chemical tool elucidates how proteins recognize and associate with one another

A University of Hong Kong research team has created a novel chemical method for illustrating protein interaction networks in cells.

Study reveals RNA regulatory mechanisms within transcription-translation couplings

To gain a better understanding of how bacterial RNA gives rise to proteins scientists are now focusing on the special way this process takes place in bacteria.

Study reveals DNA supercoiling is involved in regulating gene expression

The (when stretched) two-meter-long DNA molecule in each human cell is continuously being unpacked and packed again to enable the expression of genetic information.

Study shows how nitrate presence controls nodule formation in legumes

Legumes, or plants belonging to the bean family, form nodules on their roots to absorb nitrogen.

Tumor-inhibiting protein p53 boosts gene expression by bringing together nuclear speckles and DNA

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania headed a group of researchers to unravel the functions of the so-called “nuclear speckles”.

New mechanism of transcriptional regulators influences tumor development

The Wistar Institute scientists have discovered a novel mechanism of transcriptional regulation of cellular senescence that promotes the release of inflammatory molecules that, in turn, affect tumor growth by changing the surrounding microenvironment.

Supercomputer simulations help uncover the mechanism for HIV replication

Viruses lurk in the grey area between the living and the nonliving, according to scientists. Like living things, they replicate but they don't do it on their own. The HIV-1 virus, like all viruses, needs to hijack a host cell through infection in order to make copies of itself.

Neurod4 gene found to be the key factor in nerve regeneration after spinal cord injury

Nagoya University researchers have identified a gene that plays a crucial role in regenerating neurons of African clawed frog tadpoles, which has an unusually high capacity for nerve regeneration.

Strong cell-cell junctions preserve the quiescent properties of stem cells

The skin is known to be the largest organ in the human body, and its outermost layer, called the epidermis, is renewed every three weeks.

Scientists generate a detailed molecular atlas of lung development

Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have produced a detailed molecular atlas of lung development, which is expected to be a fundamental reference in future studies of mammalian biology and of new treatments for diseases, such as COVID-19, that affect the lungs.

New genetic engineering strategy largely reduces tau protein levels in Alzheimer’s animal model

A genetic engineering approach has helped scientists to drastically decrease the levels of tau protein.

New highly sensitive RNA detection method advances in situ transcriptomics

Human cells typically transcribe half of their roughly 20,000 genes into RNA molecules at any given time. Just like with proteins, the function of those RNA species not only relies on their abundance but also their precise localization within the 3D space of each cell.
