External perturbations, by forcing cells to adapt to a new environment, often elicit large‐scale changes in gene expression resulting in an altered proteome that improves the cell's fitness in the new ...

A Ph.D. student in biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has built a software program ...

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play a vital role in the biological processes involved in the cell functions and disease pathways. The experimental methods known to predict PPIs require tremendous ...

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) delivers radioisotopes to antigen-expressing cells via monoantibodies for the imaging of lesions or medical therapy. The chelates are typically conjugated to the antibody ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Genetic code enables zebrafish to mend damaged organs by Lori Dajose, California Institute of Technology edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

Penn-led researchers have turned a deadly fungus into a potent cancer-fighting compound. After isolating a new class of ...

One of the major barriers that CMOS devices face at nanometer scale is increasing parameter variation due to manufacturing imperfections. Process variations severely inhibit the reliable operation of ...

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and ...
