Spliceosome structures have been investigated extensively in the past decade, but most of the studies have been restricted to a handful of model organisms. New research by Lu et al, looks outside this ...

RNA quality control is the active process by which ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are monitored for integrity. The RNA quality control machinery directs the degradation of compromised RNA molecules.

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

A new study conducted by researchers at Hokkaido University has unveiled a novel class of zwitterionic phospholipids capable ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by researchers from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences and ...

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...
