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.

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.

Exceptional research recordings display RNA switching “on” and “off”

RNA switches (also known as riboswitches) control which genes are turned “on” and “off”, much like a light switch. Although this appears to be a straightforward process, biologists have been astonished by the inner workings of these switches for decades.

Study reveals novel mechanism used by infectious bacteria to survive stressful situations

A new study led by researchers at University of Utah Health details a novel mechanism that infectious bacteria use to quickly adjust to environmental stress. The discovery could help explain why certain types of common infections-;such as urinary tract and bloodstream infections like sepsis- are hard to get rid of.
