Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

The research focuses on cells’ “feet,” which are small bundles of molecules that help cells move. Scientists are exploring ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

Interneurons have a multipolar structure that allows them to receive multiple signals and then send a unified command to another neuron. In this way, you can think of interneurons as traffic ...
