Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal cellular functions. The DNA blueprint is carefully read, transcribed, and ...

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

Our brain's remarkable ability to form and store memories has long fascinated scientists, yet most of the microscopic mechanisms behind memory and learning processes remain a mystery.

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Here, we discover lysophospholipids as endogenous pannexin activators, using activity-guided fractionation of mouse tissue extracts combined with untargeted metabolomics and electrophysiology. We show ...

Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

April 3, 2025) Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital used a series of cryo-EM structures to visualize dynamics pivotal to chromatin remodeling, a process implicated in cancer and developmental ...
