In the 1940s, scientists at the recently established National Cancer Institute were trying to breed mice that could inform our understanding of cancer, either because they predictably developed ...
For decades, doctors have widely used tetracyclines for conditions ranging from acne to tick-borne illnesses. Using high-resolution imaging technology, researchers in the laboratory of Christopher ...
Scientists at Stanford may have uncovered a hidden reason our brains decline with age. Studying the ultra-short-lived turquoise killifish, researchers discovered that the cellular machinery ...
Researchers reveal that cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle cells replace their existing stock of ribosomes with a different type which can make physical contact with mitochondria, the batteries of the ...
When we think about the blueprint of life, we tend to focus on DNA — the genetic code stored in every cell of our bodies. But DNA is only part of the story. For those instructions to matter, they must ...

Stanford just pinned down why old brains slow down — the cellular factories that build proteins begin to jam, and the whole mind quietly follows
Every cell in your brain depends on ribosomes, tiny molecular machines that read genetic instructions and assemble the ...
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital report that human ribosomes decode messenger RNA (mRNA) 10 times slower than bacterial ribosomes, but do so more accurately. The study “mRNA ...
Intracellular machines called ribosomes use messenger-RNA sequences to synthesize proteins. Investigations using single-molecule imaging and cryo-electron microscopy techniques reveal structural and ...
Why do our brains become more vulnerable to memory loss and disease as we get older? This question has challenged scientists ...
Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...
Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive, cancer cells need to evade this surveillance. Now a new study by researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute reveals a new ...
