A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Previously unknown access points in cell membrane proteins have been discovered, enabling laboratory-developed drugs to modify cell function. The discovery was made possible through computer ...

A groundbreaking study published in Research (2025, DOI: 10.34133/research.0545) has elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates CD8+ T cell-mediated immune ...

Swallowing is a fundamental human function that supports nutrition and communication. Damage to swallowing muscles can reduce ...

Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole (receptor) formed by a protein's three-dimensional structure and a molecule ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...
