Novel mechanism for curvature generation of fluidic membranes

Cell membranes switch between several 3D structures with ease. It is a remarkable characteristic that is crucial for a number of biological processes, including viral infections, nutrition transfer into cells, cell motility, and cell division.

Researchers develop microscopes for identifying biological activities in detail

Consider a PhD candidate with a fluorescence microscope and a live bacterial sample. How might these resources be used in the most effective way to get specific observations of bacterial division from the sample?

Yeast platform for the production of plant-derived anti-cancer drug

The supply of a plant-derived anti-cancer drug can finally meet global demand after a team of scientists from Denmark and the U.S. engineered yeast to produce the precursor molecules, which could previously only be obtained in trace concentrations in the native plant.

Biotrophic fungus uses host auxin signaling pathway for its own purposes

Ustilago maydis attacks and reproduces in the aerial parts of the corn plant. At the location of the infection, massive tumor-like tissue growths frequently develop. The size of these galls can exceed that of a child’s skull.

Study discovers a molecular mechanism that confers special physical properties to chromosomes in dividing human cells

The Gerlich Group at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) has identified a molecular process that gives chromosomes in dividing human cells unique physical characteristics that permit faithful transmission to the progeny.

Research elucidates why cultivated rye is less resistant than wild species

Today, wild rye is more genetically diverse than its domesticated cousins and has a greater ability to recombine this genetic diversity.

Research highlights the impacts of biomolecules in plants over stress

Diphthamide is a biomolecule required for the correct synthesis of proteins in cells.

18 Jul 2022

Researchers discover how the protein content of centrosomes may vary on cell type

The centrosome is the organelle that organizes the cytoskeleton during cell division, which is an important role in species ranging from yeast to humans. Due to its broad functions, scientists previously considered that the centrosome was quite similar in all cells.

Study shows how COVID-19 deaths occur in aging due to genetic limit on cell division

The ability of the human immune system to fight COVID-19, like any infection, is primarily dependent on its ability to multiply immune cells capable of eliminating the disease-causing SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Research shows how the mitotic mechanism locate plant cell using moss plant

Cells must divide many times before a new plant can grow from seed.

10 May 2022

Study reveals advance in cell biology may lead to effective cancer therapy technique

According to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a protein called CDC7, which has long been assumed to play an important role in cell division, may be replaced by another protein called CDK1.

Study shows how key cause of cancer growth in cell formation may lead to prevention

The University of Warwick’s research gives fresh information on a major cause of cancer growth during cell division (or mitosis), as well as potential treatments for avoiding it.

Study shows how innate lymphoid cells may help to treat inflammatory bowel disease

A team of researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet studied how specific immune cells known as innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), which play a role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), evolve into mature cells.

18 Apr 2022

Max Planck researchers reveal the structure of kinetochore corona

During cell division in a mother cell, the 23 chromosomes that carry the human genome must be first copied and later delivered to two newly forming daughter cells.

Understanding how cleaning up bad mitochondria affects stem cell division

Most of us remember enough biology to recall that mitochondria are known as "the powerhouse of the cell." Even that audacious term may downplay the importance of mitochondria and what happens when mitochondria go bad.

Researchers determine major protein complexes that cause ribosome production

Scientists at UT Southwestern have discovered a four-protein complex that seems to play a significant function in the formation of ribosomes, which serve as protein factories for cells, as well as a surprise role in neurodevelopmental diseases.

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.

23 Mar 2022

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.
