Tau proteins act like the brain's maintenance crew, helping maintain the structure and proper function of brain cells. In ...

Researchers have investigated the role of a certain enzyme in regulating energy in muscle and exercise performance for ...

New findings show that the genome’s 3D structure is constantly changing, with NIPBL guiding loop formation that regulates active genes. Faulty folding dynamics may underlie cancers and developmental ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilized egg as a structural "blank slate"—a disordered tangle of DNA ...

That’s because the trunk is highly sensitive when it comes to sensing touch. Scientists have determined that the whiskers ...

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilised egg as a structural 'blank slate' – a disordered tangle of ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...
