In the hunt for new therapeutics for cancer and infectious diseases, lasso peptides prove to be a catch. Their knot-like structures afford these molecules high stability and diverse biological activities, making them a promising avenue […]

Diagnosing cancer and selecting the appropriate therapy depend crucially on how well experts understand the processes in tumors at the microscopic level. Central to this is understanding how cells in tissues communicate and what chemical […]

A new method to detect ribonucleic acid (RNA) without needing any complex lab procedures or heating equipment has been developed by researchers at UConn Health.This post was originally published on this site

To help mitigate climate change, companies are using bioreactors to grow algae and other microorganisms that are hundreds of times more efficient at absorbing CO2 than trees. Meanwhile, in the pharmaceutical industry, cell culture is […]

EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences in dose can steer cells toward completely different fates. Their findings reveal a new layer of control in cell […]
