Discover how children’s drawings reveal progress in gender equality, with more kids now imagining scientists as women. Learn ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

Due to proteostasis stress induced by aging or disease, misfolded proteins can form toxic intermediate species of aggregates and eventually mature into less toxic inclusion bodies (IBs). Here, using a ...

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 ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

This important study presents compelling observational data supporting a role for transcription and polysome accumulation in the separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes. The study is ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over three years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we ...

Procreate is many artists' go-to drawing program, but since it's only available for iPad and iPhone, it's not something that Windows users can easily gain access to. Fortunately, I've checked out ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome ... copper metabolism and how cells divide their genetic material.

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...
