In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle present in all eukaryotic cells, including human cells. The ER plays a ...

Researchers in the Galej Group at EMBL Grenoble have provided new insights into the structure of the minor spliceosome, an essential RNA-protein ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has named Fred Hutch Cancer Center postdoctoral researcher Grant King, PhD, a Hanna H. Gray Fellow — investing up to $1.5 million for up to eight years to help King ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

The LNP-mRNA modality is a novel approach that uses lipid nanoparticles to deliver messenger RNA into cells. The mRNA acts as ...

Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the more complex eukaryotic cells known today. The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that ...

Eukaryotic cell DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or ...
