| | Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is usually propagated through bulbs rather than seeds, a pattern that can lead to variety degeneration, low multiplication rates, and the accumulation of viral diseases. | |
|
| | The study, published in Volume 153, Issue 9 of the journal Development on May 14, 2026, by The Company of Biologists, is the first to precisely map endogenous UTY occupancy across the human genome and demonstrate that UTY remains functionally involved in transcriptional regulation during early human development. | |
|
| | A molecular geneticist at Montana State University has discovered a cellular process once believed impossible by scientists – the creation of the amino acid cysteine within a living cell when the cell's primary systems to do so fail. | |
|
| | A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, which have critical roles in biology. | |
|
| | RNA therapeutics have emerged as one of the most promising new classes of medicines. Eight small interfering RNA (siRNA) drugs have already been approved worldwide for the treatment of genetic diseases, yet scientists have not fully understood one of the most fundamental steps underlying their function: how Argonaute, the core protein responsible for gene silencing, becomes activated. | |

|
| | A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center. | |
|
| | Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps - transcription, when messenger RNA (mRNA) makes copies of active genes, and translation, when mRNA guides protein assembly. | |
|
| | A large plasma proteomics study shows that aging patterns in specific cell types may help identify who is more vulnerable to disease and who is more resilient. Study: Plasma proteomic signatures of cellular aging predict human disease. | |
|
| | A team of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health researchers has discovered large droplets of proteins known as condensates near inactive chromosome regions within the cell nucleus that are a feature of some cancer cells and may hold clues for better anticancer strategies. | |
