The Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble discovered notable differences between the nuclear cap-binding complex in trypanosomes and humans, a critical component in cellular RNA metabolism. Trypanosomes ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich have for the first time investigated how protein structures derived from fava beans affect a ...

Bioinformatics allowed me to address these questions faster and with a broader perspective. The growing availability of public data facilitated this. However, the transition wasn’t easy. I tried many ...

Proteins are life's engines, powering processes like muscle movement, vision, and chemical reactions. Their environments—water, lipid membranes, or other condensed phases—are critical to their ...

Thanks to a new technology called Moscot ("Multi-Omics Single-Cell Optimal Transport"), researchers can now observe millions of cells simultaneously as they develop into a new organ-for example, a ...

The suckers are also packed with sensory receptors that allow the octopus to taste and smell things that they touch—like combining a hand with a tongue and a nose. The researchers believe the ...

Scientists have traced the evolutionary origin of humans' outer ears to the gills of ancient fish through a series of ...

A recent study by a team from Chiba University has demonstrated a promising approach for fighting antibiotic resistance by identifying a compound, V-161, that inhibits a sodium-pumping enzyme critical ...

Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the trajectory towards the optimum? And can we 'derive' it in a purely ...

Prof. Bozhi Tian of the University of Chicago is on the frontier of bioelectronics, building living machines that can heal, ...

It turns on a small group of cells researchers now refer to as ... and the prefrontal cortex (PFC)—are all subject to lasting shifts in structure and function as a result of the disorder.

Octopus arms are the ultimate multitaskers, bending, twisting, and curling with an impressive range of motion that would make a yoga instructor envious.
