Studying fungi"s "weak link" to fight global rise in deadly fungal infections
A group of scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have conducted neutron scattering research to reveal key information about fungus cell membranes that could aid in developing new antifungal treatments......»»
Research team achieves high-resolution 2D imaging for graphene devices under high pressure
A research team led by Prof Zhang Zengming from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has combined nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond with a diamond anvil cell (DAC) to achieve non-inv.....»»
Glitch in protein synthesis could affect tumor growth
During protein synthesis, or translation, genetic information transcribed in the cell's mRNA directs the stringing together of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. As the translation machinery carouses along the string of nucleotides that m.....»»
How context-specific factors control gene activity
Every cell in our body contains the same DNA, yet liver cells are different from brain cells, and skin cells differ from muscle cells. What determines these differences? It all comes down to gene regulation; essentially how and when genes are turned.....»»
Saturday Citations: Teen seals photobomb research site; cell phones are safe; serotonin and emotional resilience
If you're not susceptible to urban myths and misinformation, there's a new study from the World Health Organization that will ease your 2010s-era anxieties about cell phones. There were a lot of other developments this week, including the return of B.....»»
I want more multiplayer games like Space Marine 2, not Concord

Elevating analysis of genomic data with advanced mathematical techniques
A novel approach to analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data has been unveiled by NUS researchers. This method promises to enhance both the precision and speed of data interpretation, potentially accelerating progress in numerous areas o.....»»
Hijacking the command center of the cell: Nuclear parasites in deep-sea mussels
Most animals live in intimate relationships with bacteria. Some of these bacteria live inside the cells of their hosts, but only very few are able to live inside cell organelles (structures inside the cell, like organs in the body). One group of bact.....»»
Decoding the language of cells with the power of proteomics
Hundreds of millions of years ago, single cells joined forces to become multicellular organisms. At the foundation of this multicellular world is the cell surface: the plasma membrane surrounding each cell, where individual units meet and communicate.....»»
Q&A: How single-cell and spatial proteomics reveal proteins" nuanced roles in health and disease
When Steve Carr, senior director of the Proteomics Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, began working in proteomics, the field was able to detect only the most abundant proteins in a given sample. In recent years, increasingly sensitiv.....»»
BMW explains why it will sell hydrogen fuel cells in 2028
BMW sees hydrogen as complementary to battery EVs on a region-by-region basis. Enlarge / BMW has had some hydrogen fuel cell-powered iX5s in testing for a while, and for Art Basel 2024 this one got a new look courtesy of Es Devli.....»»
Labs collaborate to enhance imaging tools for cell observation
Two labs at the University of Utah's Department of Chemistry joined forces to improve imaging tools that may soon enable scientists to better observe signaling in functioning cells and other molecular-scale processes central to life......»»
Moderna mRNA mpox vaccine shows promise in animal study
