Ubiquinone, a metabolite critical to generating energy in cells, has long been thought to be the only mitochondrial electron transport chain carrier in mammals. Although other electron transporters ...

Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9—DPP8/9 for short. Among other things, they regulate inflammatory reactions and influence ...

The STING protein, known for helping cells fight viral infections by generating inflammation, also appears to function as a quality control sensor for organelles that serve as cellular waste disposal ...

Because RNAs are so central to our biology, they are also drivers of a wide array of diseases. Defects in how RNA is produced and processed can lead to cancer, degenerative diseases, metabolic ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

Researchers have developed a method to extract living cells from feces that they say could help conservationists better ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

Benzodiazepines like Valium and Xanax are often prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia and seizures. While these drugs can be ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has identified a previously unknown enzyme, SIRT2, that plays a key ...
