Uncovering the Mysteries of Cell Factories with a New Algorithm

Living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the work, can produce drug molecules and biofuels on demand. Chalmers University of Technology researchers have developed a…
New insight into Cell Membranes

New insight into Cell Membranes

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and serves to separate the cell’s interior from the outside environment.…
Using DNA Droplets, a new method for Early Disease Detection has been Developed

Using DNA Droplets, a new method for Early Disease Detection has been Developed

Droplet systems, such as DNA droplets, formed by the liquid-liquid phase separation of macromolecules, play an important role in cellular functions. Computational DNA droplets, which…

A New Supramolecular CRISPR-Cas9 carrier makes Genome Editing more Efficient

Genome editing (also known as gene editing) refers to a set of technologies that allow scientists to alter an organism’s DNA. These technologies enable the…
Scientist discovers Aging Signs in Mitochondria

Scientist discovers Aging Signs in Mitochondria

Age-related mitochondrial alterations are linked to a reduction in mitochondrial function. Because of mutations and oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial DNA volume,…
A Single Hormone Controls the Body’s Reaction to a Low-protein Diet

A Single Hormone Controls the Body’s Reaction to a Low-protein Diet

A single hormone appears to be responsible for the lifetime extension caused by a low-protein diet. In old mice, low-protein diets have favorable metabolic benefits,…
Scientists Discover how the Brain Connects Memories

Scientists Discover how the Brain Connects Memories

As we age, our brains lose the ability to connect similar memories. Researchers genetically restored this brain function in middle-aged rats and discovered an FDA-approved…
In Obese Mice, Increasing Liver mRNAs Reduces Appetite and Body Weight

In Obese Mice, Increasing Liver mRNAs Reduces Appetite and Body Weight

Obesity is becoming increasingly common around the world, but treatment options are limited. Despite initial success, calorie restriction (CR) weight loss frequently fails due to…
