With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami ...

It’s worth stressing that a life-threatening protein deficiency is rare. That said, there are signs that you’re not getting ...

Nanoplastics in water hindered oxygen transport in zebrafish, underscoring their toxic impact on aquatic health.

Macbecin II was identified as a compound that upregulates MHC-I expression, enhancing immune-mediated cancer cell killing. In ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. Covalent organic ...
