We have many things in common with one another, but there are also things about each of us that are unique, like our fingerprints, our genome, and our gut microbiome. We carry trillions of microbes in ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London’s School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, using the simple fission yeast as a model, have shown that a new target of rapamycin (TOR) inhibitor, ...

Ozempic is famous for its uses in weight loss, but it's not perfect by any means. In fact, it can be slightly altered and ...

Researchers present novel therapeutics that rejuvenate a previously undruggable mitochondrial regulator of aging through a new mode of enzyme activation. Leveraging a newly identified biophysical ...

Scientists in the U.S. and Italy have discovered that fragments of the stomach enzyme pepsinogen, which when activated normally help to digest proteins in our food, also have antibiotic activity that ...

Cell function is significantly influenced by a process called ubiquitination, in which molecules are selected for elimination in the cell, when a ubiquitin tag is added to those molecules. Enzymes ...

Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...
