The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

AIRE has been well known to contribute to immune self-tolerance in the thymus by expressing auto-antigens; in this manuscript, the authors describe unexpected findings about the interaction of AIRE ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

Beyond its methodological contribution, the study offers new insights into how stimulus-driven variability and internally generated gain fluctuations evolve over time and between brain areas. The ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.

How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi ...

Humans were not designed for space. Ironically, because we insist on going there anyway, scientists now know from studying astronauts that the lack of Earth’s gravity can wreak health havoc, such as ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

Zhang Y.K. and Yang, H. (2026) Research on the Application of Nitrogen Removal Technology for Rural Sewage Based on Embedded ...

Over the past decade, however, a wave of technological advances has begun to expand the druggable proteome. These include covalent inhibitors (such as sotorasib), chemical proteomics, and AI-enabled ...

The NCERT had, for the first time, introduced content on the alleged corruption within the judiciary and the mounting backlog of court cases in its revised Class-8 Social Science textbook. After ...
