To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein. But this step has been a visual mystery: scientists ...

LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs.

Prof. Leslie Leiserowitz first became intrigued by malaria when he was a young boy in South Africa. His father, who scouted ...

Bilirubin, the byproduct of hemoprotein breakdown, particularly hemoglobin, is a critical marker in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing liver diseases. Findings indicate younger-onset type 2 ...

Combined with spatial molecular imaging, we uncover a distinct, previously unidentified class of cells that express the vomeronasal receptors and a population of canonical olfactory sensory neurons in ...

All four sickle cell disease patients in the efficacy cohort had fetal hemoglobin levels above Beam’s target—and the result achieved by Vertex’s rival therapy—but one patient died ...

It is a disconcerting fact that defies intuition: the 30 billion cells that make up a person share the same instruction manual, whether it is a neuron in the brain or a bone in the big toe. This ...

Scientists have just broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule and synthesized a type of 3D, unstable molecule called an ... d end up with a roughly Y-shaped 3D structure. Bredt's rule, based on ...

It reveals in unprecedented detail the structure of crystals ... Digesting the hemoglobin releases heme, an iron-containing molecular complex needed for binding oxygen. Freed from the surrounding ...
