To support drug discovery, a new study has revealed fundamental features of the transcription cycle in the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – November 6, 2025) The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme’s “tail” called phosphorylation patterns.

Exemplary Ca2+ signaling microdomains. Cartoon illustration of various microdomains featured in different types of cells, all being artificially integrated in a hypothetical single cell. (1) Cardiac ...

Researchers have investigated the role of a certain enzyme in regulating energy in muscle and exercise performance for ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form highly organized clusters with cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs), ...

Chemistry prize for understanding how cells sense their environment. To clarify your own explanation you should instead say that the protein is in the cell membrane. Many organisms with GPCRs (like ...
