To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein. But this step has been a visual mystery: scientists ...

Can keeping the nucleolus small delay aging and prolong lifespan? Researchers uncover its critical role in preventing DNA ...

Bitter taste receptor has hidden intracellular pocket that enables activation via simultaneous extracellular/intracellular ...

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, ...

Electrolytes that convert chemical to electrical energy underlie the search for new power sources with zero emissions. Among ...

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, according to Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

"But having both a bilayer-forming lipid, which provides the basic structure for the cell membrane, and a non-bilayer-forming lipid, such as cholesterol, which adds stability, seems to be a ...

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus -- a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell -- small, according to nvestigators. The findings were elucidated in yeast, a ...

At some point, metabolic reactions and replication processes had to come together inside a membrane to make an early form of a cell: a pre-cell. Perhaps this happened when a viruslike structure ...

New research offers a potential explanation for the formation of early Earth protocells. Few questions have captivated ...
