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 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 ...

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

One of the threats to manatees is cold stress. Manatees need warmth to survive. They’re vulnerable when the water temperature drops below 68 degrees, between November to March. Their round ...

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.

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 ...

Below, we explore the conditions that exacerbate the threat of cold stress injuries, the appropriate winter gear to safeguard against this safety hazard and provide practical tips for protecting ...
