Cells balance protein production and removal through passive adaptation
Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from…
Nascent polypeptide-associated complex regulates early stages of protein formation
To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate…
Opposing protein forces fine tune mRNA stability in human cells
A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and disorders…
New insights into alcohol-related DNA damage and cancer risk
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team…
Researchers discover that a hormone can access the brain by hitchhiking
Researchers at Touro University Nevada have discovered that tiny particles in the blood, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), are…
Single-cell RNA-seq reveals FBLN7’s role in adipose tissue fibrosis
Fibrosis, resulting from excess extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is a feature of adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction and obesity-related insulin resistance.…
Engineering muscle stem cells for sustainable cultured meat production
The production of cultured meat depends on the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of animal stem cells into edible…
Virus shells use asymmetry to control RNA release and infection
Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, but new…
