Researchers reconstitute the biological clock to better understand circadian rhythms

Daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology are driven by biological clocks (also called circadian clocks) in our cells.

Study offers important insights into how circadian clocks function at the subcellular level

Almost every living thing on Earth-;from bacteria to plants to people-;have a circadian rhythm, the biological clock that controls both physiology and behavior of organisms over a 24-hour period.

Supercoiling and looping can transmit mechanical stress along the DNA backbone, shows study

When people think of DNA, they visualize a string-like double helix structure. In reality, the DNA double helix in cells is supercoiled and constrained into loops. This supercoiling and looping are known to influence every aspect of DNA activity, but how this happens has not been clear.

Living cells can produce semi-interpenetrating polymer networks

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated that a class of interwoven composite materials called semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (sIPNs) can be produced by living cells. The approach could make these versatile materials more biologically compatible for biomedical applications such as time-delayed drug delivery systems.

Scientists discover the central role of LRRC8A gene in cellular ability to survive osmotic shock

Cells have to constantly adapt to their surroundings in order to survive. A sudden increase in the environmental levels of an osmolyte, such as salt, causes cells to lose water and shrink. In a matter of seconds, they activate a mechanism that allows them to recover their initial water volume and avoid dying.
