The reconstituted biological clock maintains daily cycles for days on end, allowing researchers to study the interactions of its component parts. Daily cycles in virtually…
Researchers propose faster method for recording data to DNA, showing promise in fields of digital data storage, neuron recording. Our genetic code is millions…
Advance provides new tools for synthetic chemists and biologists looking to probe and modify sulfur-based biochemistry. A group of highly reactive compounds called persulfides have…
Seeds that would otherwise lie dormant will spring to life with the aid of a new chemical discovered by a UC Riverside-led team. Plants have…
The chemical steps in an important cellular modification process that adds a chemical tag to some RNAs have been revealed in a new study. Interfering…
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a new, versatile antidote to counteract exposure to nerve agent poisoning. The work, appearing in the…
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have shown how SARS-CoV-2 viral proteases attack the host cell, and how this can be targeted to stop virus…
Peripherally produced amyloid causes neurodegeneration. Amyloid protein made in the liver can cause neurodegeneration in the brain, according to a new study in the open-access…
Just like an auto mechanic or automobile engineer needs to understand the components of every system in many kinds of vehicles, scientific researchers need to…
Microbes are engineered to convert sugar into a chemical found in tires. The future environmental footprint of the tire industry could be substantially shrunk thanks…
Blue light is illuminating new understanding of a key signaling pathway in embryo development, tissue maintenance, and cancer genesis. Researchers at the University of Illinois…
Genetically encoded reporter proteins have been a mainstay of biotechnology research, allowing scientists to track gene expression, understand intracellular processes, and debug engineered genetic circuits….
Supercomputing-derived movies reveal details of deceptive sugar coating on spike protein, presenting new possibilities to block cell entry and infection. Since the early days of…
Certain regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome might be a suitable target for future drugs. This is what researchers at Goethe University, together with their collaborators…
“The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion,” Albert Einstein wrote. Perhaps this is nowhere more evident than in…
Adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhale different metabolites in their breath than uninfected people, and dogs and diagnostic devices can detect these changes. Now, researchers reporting…
Bacteria known as group B Streptococcus (GBS) are a common cause of blood infections, meningitis, and stillbirth in newborns. Although GBS infections can often be…
Blocking a key enzyme could kill parasites that have evolved resistance to existing drugs. Every year, more than 200 million people are infected with malaria,…
