Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level. The field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology chiefly concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis as well as learning how these interactions are regulated.

UCLA Breakthrough Generates Thousands of Allogeneic T-Cell Doses From Single Cord Blood Sample

T cell receptor, or TCR, therapy is a cancer treatment that genetically reprograms immune cells, called T cells, to hunt down cancer with precision.

First Chromosome-Level Genome Unveils Blueprints of Valued Medicinal Compounds

Spuriopimpinella brachycarpa, known locally as Dayeqin or Shanqincai, has long been used in traditional medicine to treat colds, indigestion, abdominal pain, and cough.

New Platform Links Dysfunctional Biomolecular Condensates to Microcephaly and Neurodevelopment

When you add drops of oil to water, the oil and water remain separate. Within cells, biological molecules cluster together in a similar way, separating themselves from the rest of the cell. And while they don't have a membrane, they are their own distinct compartments.

Researchers Struggle Tracking Human Dementia Progress Using Traditional Laboratory Mice

Brain diseases, including dementia, have long been studied using experimental animals such as mice. However, differences between the human and animal genomes have raised concerns that some disease mechanisms may not be fully explained by conventional animal models.

Mapping the Hidden Structural Networks Governing Hundreds of Gut Microbes

Understanding how bacteria influence one another is essential for understanding how microbial communities are formed and maintained. Researchers at Umeå University have now systematically mapped interactions between common gut bacteria, creating one of the most comprehensive datasets of its kind.

Researchers Uncover Hidden Disease Mechanisms in the Disordered Human Proteome

The human genome contains millions of genetic differences, but determining which ones disrupt biological function–and how–remains a fundamental challenge.

Centriolar Satellites Coordinate Crucial Internal Cellular Protein Trafficking Networks

Inside every cell, thousands of proteins must reach the right place at the right time. Helping coordinate this complex logistics network are centriolar satellites-tiny, membrane-less organelles that play important roles in protein trafficking, cell division, and the formation of cilia.
