Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein manufacture has long ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the nucleolus, long known ...

A team led by Princeton University researchers has developed a tool to peer inside the nucleolus, the cellular compartment responsible for the earliest steps in protein manufacture. This system opens ...

Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus -- a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell -- small, according to nvestigators. The findings were elucidated in yeast, a ...

Ribosomes carry out the cell’s most essential function—translating genetic information into proteins. But even though scientists understand much about how these protein generators are formed, their ...

At most, 10 people in the world are known to have BPTA. Five of them participated in the current study, and they were found to share virtually the same mutation in the gene for the HMGB1 protein. It ...

Research at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) reveals that autonomous parvoviruses, such as canine parvovirus, are highly capable of affecting the internal balance of the nucleolus. The results ...
