A team of 48 astronomers from 14 countries, led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has discovered a population of ...

A giant virus encodes part of the protein-making toolkit of cells that gives it greater control over its amoeba host, raising questions about how it evolved and how such beings relate to living organi ...

Scientists have identified a crucial mechanism that allows plants to shape their vascular systems, determining whether they ...

Scientists have identified a crucial mechanism that allows plants to shape their vascular systems, determining whether they grow soft edible storage organs or develop the rigid woody tissue ...

The Rocky Mountain chain is a fascinating geologic formation, as it (at least, at first glance) defies some basic geological rules, including that most mountain ranges form subduction zones. A new ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

Formation Bio is inking a deal worth more than $600 million in biobucks for ex-China rights to a next-gen immunology asset from Lynk Pharmaceuticals. Lynk’s program will be developed by Formation’s ...

Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the messenger molecule, reading the genetic code as they go. Using this ...

One of the most pressing challenges facing the Catholic Church in the United States today is the steady rise in young Catholics who abandon the faith before they reach adulthood. A new approach — one ...

This manuscript offers valuable structural and mechanistic insights into the structure and assembly of the Type II internal ribosome entry site (IRES) from encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and the ...

We may have discovered a fundamental cause of cellular ageing that underlies many other ageing processes in cells. A study of the brains of freshwater fish called killifish has shown that, as they age ...
