A protein called cryorhodopsin, a molecule found in the coldest environments on Earth, may hold the key to manipulating human ...

Imagine the magnificent glaciers of Greenland, the eternal snow of the Tibetan high mountains, and the permanently ice-cold ...

From sites of transcription in the nucleus to the outreaches of the cytoplasm, messenger RNAs are associated with RNA-binding proteins. These proteins influence pre-mRNA processing as well as the ...

Now, researchers from Kyushu University have revealed that the smallest known protein-based tRNA-processing enzyme, called ...

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

Scientists discover cold-loving proteins called cryorhodopsins that could help control brain cells with light.

Researchers have identified a protein, G-Protein Pathway Suppressor 2 (GPS2), that moves from a cell's mitochondria to its nucleus in response to stress and during the differentiation of fat cells ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

Scientists have found that living cells will sometimes "shoot the messenger" as a way to halt production of certain proteins.

The human microbiome makes thousands of small, previously unidentified proteins, shedding light on human health and could pave the way for the development of drugs in the future.

WNT messenger proteins are crucial for a variety of cellular functions. A specific WNT messenger can increase muscle mass and improve regeneration in skeletal muscle.

A protein similar to this escort protein is present in other plants, yeast, and animals. The researchers were able to swap out part of the Arabidopsis thaliana signaling system with parts from corn ...
