In their study published in Nature Communications, researchers identified an unusual type of brain cell they named “ovoid ...

Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

When Xiao Wang applied to faculty jobs, many of the institutions where she interviewed thought her research proposal - to ...

A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...

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 ...

In particular, the molecular cell biologist wanted to know what proteins are produced at any given moment. So his laboratory came up with a way to directly measure the output of ribosomes — the ...

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 ...

This discovery sheds light on how tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells adapt to their location in the body, ensuring a coordinated and effective immune response and how microenvironments and ...

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 ...

Way back in 1830 mysterious specks were seen by early microscopists inside the cell nucleus. Then called nucleoli, they were later found to be where the ribosome is made. But it wasn’t until ...
