Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...
Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A novel study uncovers how a subtle chemical tweak transforms the naturally occurring phytotoxin into a powerful molecular glue, 12-deoxyfusicoccin (12-dFC), that locks 14-3-3 proteins onto the ...
Within aging organisms, cells slowly lose their youthful precision: Membranes stiffen, repair systems malfunction, and proteins begin to misfold and pile up. One of the cell organelles that ...
Every cell in the human body runs a protein-folding factory inside a compartment called the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER.
In the past decade, there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...
Shanshan Liu and Mark Gad developed a liposome-based transport assay to characterize SLC33A1 transport activity. (Credit: ...
Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...
