Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell ...

Fred Hutch virologist Keith Jerome, MD, PhD, and evolutionary biologist Jesse Bloom, PhD, were recently elected to the 2025 ...

The “warm” data in the middle, such as your old photos, can take a few seconds to retrieve. Most data is cold, and a lot of ...

For the first time scientists have identified promising drug candidates that bind irreversibly with a notoriously "undruggable" cancer protein target, permanently blocking it.

Targeted inhibition of a "signal jammer" protein may improve how tumors respond to immunotherapy. Published today in Nature, a new study demonstrates how some cancer cells use the protein ...

In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, called Exportin-1 (also called Xpo1 or Crm1), seems to play a role in promoting gene transcription, the process that creates RNA ...

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

St. Jude researchers identified a protein, voltage-dependent anion channel 2 (VDAC2), that tumors use as a “signal jammer” to prevent cancer cell death and evade the immune system’s functioning.

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

New research uncovers new insights into preventing chronic inflammation caused by aging-related zombie-like cells. In humans ...

Scientists at Osaka University in Japan may have an answer—and they claim it’s hidden in our hormones. The researchers have unveiled an AI-driven model that uses a mere five drops of blood to estimate ...
