In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have revealed that the function of proteins is not solely determined by their fixed three-dimensional ...

A new discovery about the slime ejected by velvet worms could revolutionize sustainable material design. The findings outline how a naturally occurring protein structure, conserved across species from ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's ...

Parkinson's disease is often not diagnosed until later stages, when many nerve cells in the brain have already died off, and ...

Center at UCSF is pioneering the development of potent drug candidates aimed at preventing future coronavirus pandemics.

Cells have a mailing system of sorts. They can release tiny molecular balls, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), that ...

How well our brain functions depends heavily on the performance of our nerve cells. That is why they are regularly checked ...

Researchers describe a concentric supraparticle system that protects and delivers RNA therapeutics for gene silencing in ...

An emerging study now suggests that certain tiny adjustments in our proteins could hold the secret to better aging.

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...
