Their characteristics promote liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and the formation of membraneless organelles such as stress granules and nucleoli ... SMN1 brings together the complex and is ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

A new study found that cold-water immersion offers a number of short-lived potential health benefits. In the 12 hours after ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...

One systematic review and meta-analysis found that cold-water immersion may help decrease sick day absences, improve sleep and quality of life, and reduce stress. More research is needed to ...

Picture an Antarctic animal and most people think of penguins, but there is a flightless midge, the only known insect native ...

A recent study by two biological science researchers found that a pathogen for bird pink eye remained viable on bird feeders in winter months much longer than in summer months, without losing any of ...

Plastic is the most prevalent marine pollutant, and plastic surfaces are the fastest growing habitat in the ocean. Researchers at the University of Hawai'i (UH) at Mānoa have recently discovered ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
