It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...

However, RS3's molecular structure had been unknown. To solve the mammalian RS3 structure, Drs. Nicastro, Zhang, and Zhao and their colleagues used a variety of approaches to study mouse RS3, ...

New findings show that the genome’s 3D structure is constantly changing, with NIPBL guiding loop formation that regulates active genes. Faulty folding dynamics may underlie cancers and developmental ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...

Researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines. RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as ...

A new artificial intelligence-driven pipeline developed in a collaborative research combines protein structure prediction, ...
