Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

A new manufacturing technique called "3D necroprinting" repurposes mosquito proboscises as biodegradable nozzles for 3D ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

Recent research highlights that for fertility and aging, the egg may be the leading lady, but she needs her supporting cast.

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...
