For decades, cancer research has focused on the dysregulation of various cellular pathways, including transcription, chromatin structure, proliferative signaling, RNA processing, and genomic integrity ...

Researchers use high-resolution imaging to reveal the dynamic structure of biomolecular condensates, shedding light on their role in health and disease. (Nanowerk News) Biomolecular condensates are ...

Iron is a micronutrient for plants. Biologists now show that regulatory proteins for iron uptake behave particularly dynamically in the cell nucleus when the cells are exposed to blue light -- an ...

Transcription factors play essential roles in turning the genetic information encoded in genes into proteins in all cells and organisms. These regulatory proteins bind DNA, turn genes on or off, and ...

The mechanics of the onset of cancer or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS remain a mystery.

Biomolecular condensates are membraneless hubs of condensed proteins and nucleic acids within cells, which researchers are realizing are tied to an increasing number of cellular processes and diseases ...

A project at New York University (NYU) has combined holographic microscopy and super-resolution imaging to study the tiny cell droplets called biomolecular condensates. These condensates are essential ...

If your holiday season activities include a luxury cruise or feasting on raw oysters, then beware: Norovirus, a gastrointestinal RNA virus that can cause nausea and diarrhea, could be an unwelcome ...
