Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

Therapies that target the utilization of fat by tumors and activate a type of cell death dependent on fat molecules may be a ...

One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be familiar to you; these are the ...

In addition to conventional secreted factors, cells also secrete ncRNA molecules (RNAkines). The molecular types of secreted factor are in bold, and representative examples or subfamilies, such as ...

An international research team has uncovered compelling evidence that gut-microbe-derived molecules may play an important ...

A version of this story appeared in Volume 103, Issue 11 Chemists and chemical biologists just keep dreaming up new ways to interfere with biomolecules. That research frequently leads to promising ...

A team of researchers studied the properties of membranes to understand how these cellular structures influenced the chemistry of life on Earth as it began. How life arose remains a looming question ...
