Researchers found a way to enable cereals like wheat and rice to fix their own nitrogen, like legumes. This breakthrough ...

Researchers uncovered a powerful weakness in lung cancer by shutting down a protein that helps tumors survive stress. When this protein, FSP1, was blocked, lung tumors in mice shrank dramatically, ...

Many proteins contain zip code-like sequences that tell the cell's machinery where to deliver them so the proteins can do their jobs. Ly found many examples in which longer and shorter versions of the ...

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in ...

A team at Massachusetts General Hospital uncovered that an immune defense protein, Resistin-like molecule gamma, attacks heart cells after a heart attack—literally punching holes in them. This ...

For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can run in families, an idea that dates back to Hippocrates. Over time, researchers have become increasingly skilled at uncovering how ...

Single-cell proteins derived from methanogenic bacteria are produced using methane as a feedstock and represent a promising alternative to fishmeal in aquaculture. Several studies have shown that ...

On August 21, the State Key Laboratory of Genome and Multi-omics Technologies, led by BGI-Research, collaborated with multiple institutions to unveil a groundbreaking single-cell omics technology ...

In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...
