A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes.

New antifungal therapeutic alternatives are of great importance worldwide, mainly due to the significant increase in fungal diseases, mortality, and ...

The outer covering of most cells is a squishy, permeable double layer of fat molecules that encloses a cell’s gel-like interior and all its parts. But bacteria cells are different. Their outer ...

It is well established that cellulose synthesis in higher plants requires three different but related catalytic subunits known as CESA proteins. Here the authors provide cryo electron microscopy ...

Plant cell-based bioproduction systems are known for producing proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications that have been used in a handful of approved therapeutics. Widespread ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Trees and plants in general have evolved to a system of optimal ...
