Gene regulation in our cells—the decision on which proteins are produced for the various processes of the cell—is strictly regulated. It has long been assumed that this regulation deteriorates with ...

A new review highlights the pivotal role of LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1) in regulating critical cellular processes and its implications for human diseases. This article sheds light on how post ...

The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) have developed a new generation of wireless piezoelectric microdevices capable of ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

Fluorescent proteins have revolutionized science, enabling researchers to tag and visualize individual molecules in living cells, tissues, and animals. Using these tools, researchers have watched ...

Caspases are a family of proteolytic enzymes that play a central role in apoptosis, the regulated process of programmed cell death essential for development, homeostasis and the clearance of damaged ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the same physics principle used in AM radio transmission. Cyanobacteria, an ...

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...
