Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

Peptide science has expanded rapidly in recent decades, revealing molecules with intriguing signaling roles that may influence diverse regenerative and organizational processes within an organism.

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They play a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Amino ...

In the intricate machinery of the inner ear, hearing begins with a protein that moves a few billionths of a meter up to ...
