Using a new method to study how carbohydrates modify proteins, scientists have discovered that gut bacteria can alter molecular signatures in the brain.

Lung cancer is a particularly challenging form of cancer. It often strikes unexpectedly and aggressively with little warning, and it can shapeshift in unpredictable ways to evade treatment.

The model has uncovered a hidden layer of molecular code that shapes biological organization, adding new dimensions of ...

With a $1 million grant, the University of Iowa’s Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing looks toward expanding the ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism — a novel genomically recoded organism ...

Rice lab pioneers an assembly kit for synthetic sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. Rice University bioengineers have ...

QUT researchers created a biosensor using engineered proteins to detect and extract rare earth elements, offering a potential ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Collagen, the body’s most abundant protein, has long been considered a predictable structural component of tissues. However, ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D ...
