A novel study uncovers how a subtle chemical tweak transforms the naturally occurring phytotoxin into a powerful molecular glue, 12-deoxyfusicoccin (12-dFC), that locks 14-3-3 proteins onto the ...

Scientists discovered a new protein, now named SNOR, that helps produce a dormant state in cells when deprived of glucose. Even more interesting to the scientists was the discovery that this protein ...

An international team of scientists have used advanced microscopy to image how ribosomes recruit to mRNA. Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn as well as the ...

It's a tough world for microbes. When resources grow limited and environments worsen, microbes have figured out ways to hunker down and go dormant until conditions improve. However, scientists have ...

A newly published peer-reviewed paper in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition synthesizes findings from a February ...
