Research by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés and Fayez Aziz, University of Illinois, reveals a “big bang” during evolution of protein subunits known as domains. The team looked…
Studies using human cell lines and tumors grown in mice provide early evidence that inhibiting RNA-binding proteins, a previously overlooked family of molecules, might provide…
COVID-19 drugs, vaccines still effective against mutating virus. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists identified how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, gets inside cells…
A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis demonstrates, in mice and human cells, that a cell-based immunotherapy may be effective…

An international study has discovered a coronavirus epidemic broke out in the East Asia region more than 20,000 years ago, with traces of the outbreak…
Sperm illustration. University of Toledo research shows the centriole’s role in sperm evolved from a shock absorber to a transmission system. Scientists at The University…
Sweeteners could cause gut bacteria to invade the intestine. New research has discovered that common artificial sweeteners can cause previously healthy gut bacteria to become…
When SARS-CoV-2 (yellow) infects monkey kidney cells, it reduces the cellular recycling mechanism, meaning there are fewer autophagy signals (green) than in non-infected cells. Blue…
Legend has it that Marie Antoinette’s hair turned gray overnight just before her beheading in 1791. Though the legend is inaccurate—hair that has already grown…
