After a long search, RIKEN researchers have identified an enzyme crucial for keeping lipid-linked sugar chains in check in ...

Scientists identify a neuronal enzyme linked to amyloid plaque formation, opening new possibilities for targeted Alzheimer’s disease treatment.

William Gilpin in physics and Devleena Samanta in chemistry each were selected for the honor.

Scientists at Michigan State University have uncovered the molecular “switch” that powers sperm for their final, high-speed dash toward an egg. By tracking how sperm use glucose as fuel, the team ...

Deep in human muscle cells, the enzyme AMPD1 helps convert chemical fuel into usable energy. When it functions poorly, ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

African indigenous food groups present an exciting area to explore when it comes to taste and nutrition. They may even offer ...

Targeting OTULIN has proven to eliminate toxic tau proteins in human neurons for the first time, opening a new avenue for treating dementia.

Study reveals that reversible chemical modifications can inhibit pyruvate kinase and affect its variants differently, ...

Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high ...
