Nuclear condensates play many important roles in chromatin functions, but how cells regulate their nucleation and growth within the complex nuclear environment is not well understood. Here, we report ...

This useful study presents findings on how some antibiotics, which inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria, affect the translation in mitochondrial ribosomes. The authors provide solid evidence that ...

Chemotherapy drugs can kill cancer cells by halting DNA replication, but a glucose-depleted environment can help cancer cells ...

Recent findings indicate that the chirality of molecules, critical to life's structure, might not have been as fixed in early ...

Dynamic, reversible modifications of DNA and RNA regulate how genes are expressed and transcribed, which can influence ...

Dynamic, reversible modifications of DNA and RNA regulate how genes are expressed and transcribed, which can influence cellular processes, disease development, and overall organismal health.

Researchers recently developed a new approach for identifying new cellular RNA targets of snoRNAs. They uncovered thousands of previously unknown targets for snoRNAs in human cells and mouse brain ...

Fèlix Ritort, head of the Small Biosystem Lab at the UB's Department of Condensed Matter Physics, says, "The folded structures of biological molecules, from DNA to RNA and proteins, determine their ...
