Researchers at the Vienna BioCenter designed a testing protocol for SARS-CoV-2 that can process tens of thousands of samples in less than 48 hours. The…
A critical process in the infection cycle of viruses has been revealed for the first time in dynamic detail using pioneering plant-based technology. Evidence about…
A research team working at Uppsala University has succeeded in studying ‘translation factors’ – important components of a cell’s protein synthesis machinery – that are…
The researchers suggest the test could be deployed in remote locations, clinics, and airports due to its ease of use and portability. Simon Fraser University…
Researchers led by a team at Kanazawa University report that vasopressin neurons in the brain’s circadian rhythm control center are critical for regulating the timing…
Some RNA Molecules Have Unexpected Sugar Coating Sugars attach to certain RNA molecules on the outside membrane of the cell. The newly discovered “glycoRNAs” may…
Study shows erosion of ant genome tied to loss of functional, behavioral and social traits in 3 inquiline species. Ants are renowned in the insect…
University of Chicago chemists aim to transform the field of chemical discovery. Molecules are the building blocks for our modern world, from phones to cars…
Why methane carbon isotopes in the deep sea behave so differently than expected? Deep down in the seafloor anaerobic microbes consume large amounts of methane,…
80% of all SARS-CoV-2 proteins. produced in the laboratory — protocols available for worldwide research — Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, forms the hub of research…
Detection innovation could enhance drug development and cancer research. Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases,…
Exeter scientists have discovered a simple, efficient way to recreate the early structure of the human embryo from stem cells in the laboratory. The new…
In a paper published today in Nature Communications, an international group of collaborators led by researchers at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh have identified a…
Salk scientists reveal new insights into neurodegenerative disorders and potential for genetic therapies. Neurons lack the ability to replicate their DNA, so they’re constantly working…
New study traces back the progenitor genomes causing COVID-19 and geospatial spread. In the field of molecular epidemiology, the worldwide scientific community has been steadily…
Freiburg researchers explain an evolutionary step in the symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. What would it be like to produce fertilizer in your own…
Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease. Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2’s…
