Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...
