Cryo-electron microscopy reveals detailed blueprint of viral genome replication machinery

RNA viruses, such as the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, are in a life-and-death race the moment they infect a cell.

Targeting newly discovered signaling pathway could boost the potency of cancer therapeutics

Cells zealously protect the integrity of their genomes, because damage can lead to cancer or cell death. The genome - a cell's complete set of DNA - is most vulnerable while it is being duplicated before a cell divides. Cancer cells constantly are dividing, so their genomes are constantly in jeopardy.

Scientists demonstrate how microbiome and feeding patterns impact circadian rhythms in the gut

A study published in the journal PNAS reveals that the gut microbiome stabilizes the synchronization between gut and brain circadian rhythms.

Study shows spatial organization in tumor cells

Researchers investigated whether the observed tumor cellular heterogeneity and architecture result from stochastic and chaotic events, or whether there is more coordination in the histopathological chaos of cancer.

Study: 12-hour gene expression rhythms are missing or altered in schizophrenic brains

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, U.S. present the first evidence of 12-hour cycles of gene activity in the human brain. Publishing in the open access journal PLOS Biology on January 24th, the study led by Madeline R. Scott also reveals that some of those 12-hour rhythms are missing or altered in the postmortem brains of patients with schizophrenia.
