In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment helps connect two key steps of gene expression: the reading of genes and the ...

A more efficient and environmentally friendly approach to extracting rare earth elements that power everything from electric vehicle batteries to smartphones could increase domestic supply and ...

Membrane biophysics is the study of ... and the effect they have on paracellular transport and phenomena relating to cell shape. Molecular simulations are used to quantify how the binding ...

Innovative delivery techniques, including high-tech nanoparticles and electroporationdevices, may convey more gene therapies ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic ...

Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

Study in mice shows how a host-elicited factor benefits gut immunological homeostasis by selectively targeting commensal ceramide molecules.

A new study by Vanderbilt investigators has uncovered a previously unknown biological mechanism: how tissues detect and ...

Structural studies of membrane proteins historically have relied almost exclusively on first removing membrane proteins from the membrane with dispersive agents like detergents. But dispersive agents ...
