Biomolecular condensates are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key ...

Switching from nanofibres in the blood to virus-like particles in a tumour environment brings drugs to where they are needed ...

New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...

But it turns out, she may have been onto something. Today, mevalonic acid, a compound that plays a key role in the body’s cholesterol production, is emerging as one of skincare’s most talked ...

For each glucose molecule respired, the cycle reactions occur twice as two pyruvic acid molecules are formed. Glycolysis is an anaerobic reaction which occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

In many bacteria, translating ribosomes are excluded from the nucleoid, while amino-acid and energy-supplying metabolic enzymes spread evenly throughout the cytoplasm. Here we show with time-lapse ...

This induces T cell activation by promoting the binding of the intracellular kinase LCK to the CD4 cytoplasmic tail motif CxC/H (single letter amino acid code), which initiates an activation ...

By the end of this century the ocean is expected to be 150% more acidic than it is now. Acidification is threatening marine life. It’s killing baby oysters, deep-sea coral reefs and pteropods ...

A viral protein inhibits vacuolar acidification to facilitate viral infection by suppressing ... H + ‐ATPase (plasma membrane marker), and Rubisco (soluble cytoplasm marker). Representative confocal ...

Endosomal acidification leads to VgR dephosphorylation. Phosphorylation is essential for VgR to translocate from oocyte cytoplasm to the membrane to bind with vitellogenin on the membrane and to ...
