Transcription factors play essential roles in turning the genetic information encoded in genes into proteins in all cells and organisms. These regulatory proteins bind DNA, turn genes on or off, and ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

This image offers a unique look inside biomolecular condensates, the tiny, membraneless compartments within cells. The circular visualization represents a condensate, with one half (left, colorful) ...

For decades, cancer research has focused on the dysregulation of various cellular pathways, including transcription, chromatin structure, proliferative signaling, RNA processing, and genomic integrity ...

Iron is a micronutrient for plants. Biologists now show that regulatory proteins for iron uptake behave particularly dynamically in the cell nucleus when the cells are exposed to blue light -- an ...

Biologists discovered that a scaffolding protein called TCOF1 is responsible for the formation of a biomolecular condensate called the fibrillar center, which forms within the cell nucleolus. Inside ...

Researchers need to know how biomolecules interact with one another, both for studying biological mechanisms and developing new therapeutic agents. One way to do this is to attach labels onto ...

A new interdisciplinary study published in Nature Communications provides the first detailed insights, from a biomolecular ...

Aging Americans, you're not imagining things: Big shifts in physical well-being do occur at certain points in the life span, new research shows. A team at Stanford University has found "massive" ...
