Cellular communication relies on receptor molecules on the cell surface. The periodic uptake and sorting of these receptors, critical for their degradation or recycling, are governed by an elaborate ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

The Molecular Virology Research Group at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), in collaboration with the Epitranscriptomics and RNA Dynamics group of the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has discovered a ...

The COVID-19 virus hijacks the machinery of testicular cells that produce the hormone testosterone in order to replicate. It also appropriates the metabolic pathways of these cells and cholesterol, a ...

Estela Jacinto, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, has been studying a crucial pathway for human cell growth and metabolism for more than ...

The study, published in Nature Communications, shows a new mechanism whereby viruses modify cellular machinery so that it can better read the instructions in the genome of the invading virus. The ...

Cell division is essential to life; cells divide to build an organism and to maintain its health. The cell’s cytoskeleton, a network of filaments and microtubules inside of it, plays an important role ...

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed a way to promote antitumor immunity by hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells. The study demonstrated that inducing cancer cells to ...

Researchers have learned how to commandeer the complex machinery that cells use to recognize and respond to such important molecules as steroid hormones, thyroid hormones and vitamin D. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at California Polytechnic State University have developed a low-cost approach that improves cell-free biotechnology's utility for bio-manufacturing and portability for ...
