Recent work in The EMBO Journal describes a new hybrid post-translational modification of proteins, composed of a poly-ubiquitin chain that is attached to a target protein via a mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) ...

Our cells harbor a DNA detector termed cGAS to inform the immune system of viral and bacterial infections, cell death, as ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

A research led by Sergio P. Acebrón, Researcher Ikerbasque at the UPV/EHU, develops a key tool to visualize the immune response to abnormal DNA, opening new avenues for the treatment of diseases.

Research led by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio discovers a means of slowing or even blocking recurrence of glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer.

A study reveals how the Wingless signalling pathway shapes the embryonic intestine of the Drosophila fly, activating a mechanism involved in calcium transport. The finding redefines the role of ...

These findings published in the EMBO Journal bring into focus the complex regulation of protein:DNA affinity that is critical for cells to divide. Furthermore, these results can shed light on how this ...

Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have discovered a way to delay or even block ...

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something ...

Some experts think “xenobot” cells that reorganize themselves after death signify a form of consciousness—while others ...
