When cells are stressed by heat, toxins, inflammation, or other challenges, most cellular processes, including protein production, are temporarily shut down to help the cell survive. Ribosomes ...

Scientists have achieved the first DNA-free CRISPR gene editing in raspberries, reaching 19% efficiency and opening the door to faster breeding of firmer, more resilient berries — though regenerating ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Chemists at UCL (University College London) have shown how two of biology’s most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin ...

Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, fate determination and migration. Researchers describe signaling mechanisms that determine one ...
