Research reveals how a building block protein assembles to form poxvirus scaffold

Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University have revealed how poxviruses build their scaffold - a temporary protein coat that forms and disappears as the virus matures.

Plant biologists determine molecular ‘blueprint’, showing how plants observe light

For survival, plants depend on their ability to detect light. Plants, unlike animals, do not have photoreceptors in their eyes to receive and transmit messages from visual inputs.

Multiple nanobodies effectively block infection with different SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a novel strategy for identifying potent miniature antibodies, so-called nanobodies, against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Tuberculosis causes early epigenetic aging in cells, study finds

In the current study, scientists at Baylor College of Medicine identified that the cells of humans and animals that recovered from tuberculosis had prematurely aged up to 12 to 14 years.

Cryo-electron microscopes help determine how “911” molecule repairs DNA damage

When something unexpected happens with DNA replication, cells call their own form of 911 to stop the process and rectify the problem.

Scientists reveal how 9-1-1 clamp attaches to DNA damage site for initiating effective repair

DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in DNA provides information for building an organism.

Research points to a common thread linking diverse neurodegenerative diseases

Take a cell-deep tour of a brain afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, and you will find minuscule clumps of protein that seem suspicious. Ever since the 1980s, when neuroscientists began identifying these protein tangles, researchers have discovered that other brain diseases have their own tangled-protein signatures.
