The origin of the nucleus remains hotly debated among scientists, but new imaging and genomic data are shedding light on this billion-year-old mystery.

Duckweed is the fastest-growing flowering plant, but new knowledge of duckweed genetics discovered by Adelaide University ...

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

Polyamines—natural molecules found in every living cell—have become stars in the longevity world for their ability to boost cellular cleanup and support healthy aging. But there’s a dark twist: high ...

Can anti-ageing supplements fuel cancer? A new study examines how polyamines like spermidine affect protein synthesis in cancer cells and what it means for supplement users.

Researchers discovered a protein that acts as a molecular switch driving cocaine addiction by altering gene activity in a ...

Together, these findings indicate that astrocytes undergo profound sex- and region-specific adaptations to chronic ethanol, implicating extracellular matrix and glycosaminoglycan remodeling as key ...

We often hear about bacteria, but what exactly are they? A bacterium is a living organism that consists of a single cell (unicellular). It has ...

Researchers report that photodynamic therapy increases antibiotic penetration and disrupts resistance mechanisms in laboratory strains.

This study presents valuable findings implicating nuclear export in the regulation of protein condensate behaviour and TDP-43 phase behaviour, suggesting a link to pathogenic aggregation in ALS/FTD.

Polyamines are naturally produced molecules present in all living cells. They play a vital role in basic biological functions, including cell growth ...
