A schema summarizing the effects caused by the deficiency of GABAergic transmission from vasopressin neurons on circadian rhythms at multiple levels. Without GABA release from…
A variety of molecules protrude from the cell surface, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, and the newly discovered glycoRNAs. This illustration depicts RNA as a double-stranded stem…

In a paper published today in Nature Communications, an international group of collaborators led by researchers at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh have identified a…
The progenitor (proCoV2) virus and its initial descendants arose in China, based on the earliest mutations of proCoV2 and their locations, which were traced back…

Representative images of vascular endothelial control cells (left) and cells treated with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (right) show that the spike protein causes increased mitochondrial…
This picture shows the wing imaginal disc of fruit fly. Green cells are live and proliferating cells that express an oncogene Src. Magenta cells are…
The researchers were able to monitor the virus’s growth in organoids derived from human intestinal cells. Pink and red show areas of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Credit:…
Over the last 60 years, scientists have been able to observe how and when genetic information was replicated, determining the existence a “replication timing program,”…
The analysis of protein sequences allows scientists to predict protein interactions. They can then identify potential new players in the coronavirus infection process. Credit: Rayne…
In mice deficient in USAG-1, an antagonist of BMP, the trace deciduous incisors survive and erupt as excess teeth. Credit: Kyoto University/Katsu Takahashi Antibody for…
Direct view of the sample in protein X-ray crystallography: The tiny pin (tip in the center) carries the crystal sample and is firmly fixed in…
Fusing classical epidemiology and genomics is a tool for future pandemics. Genome sequencing of thousands of SARS-CoV-2 samples shows that surges of COVID-19 cases are…
A Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich team has shown that slight alterations in transfer-RNA molecules (tRNAs) allow them to self-assemble into a functional unit that can…
