A team of scientists has uncovered a critical mechanism that could pave the way for safer and more effective obesity ...

Before this century is over, we’re almost certainly going to need to pull massive amounts of carbon dioxide back out of the atmosphere. While we already know how to do carbon capture and storage, it ...

Symptoms of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, may be subtle at first but develop into more obvious muscle weakness and paralysis. Recently, a researcher identified a potential target for ...

Enzyme 'atlas' helps researchers decipher cellular pathways Biologists have mapped out more than 300 protein kinases and their targets, which they hope could yield new leads for cancer drugs ...

Cysteine biosynthesis is a vital biochemical process that converts inorganic sulphur into organic forms, ultimately producing the sulphur‐containing amino acid cysteine. This amino acid is essential ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

In processes such as cell division, enzymatic events succeed each other like so many dominoes. If, for whatever reason, a domino were to go missing, the consequences could be catastrophic. In the case ...

There’s no question that humans are driving long-term changes in the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. But the human influence is taking place against a backdrop of natural carbon fluxes that are ...

NUDT5 enzyme acts as a molecular scaffold that maintains metabolic balance. Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle or stop producing essential molecules.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (http://www.ucr.edu) — An assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside's Bourns College of Engineering has recently received a ...

Steroids are essential molecules for life in all complex organisms such as animals and plants. Researchers from the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, the University of Technology Sydney ...
