Preclinical study uncovers two proteins" crucial role in causing cancer cell growth
Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, have discovered a new cellular mechanism that plays an important role in cancer cells' ability to cause disease. The study is published i.....»»
How talin protein maintains intercellular connection while transmitting force
In multicellular organisms, cell migration and mechanosensing are essential for cellular development and maintenance. These processes rely on talin, the key focal adhesion—or FA—protein, central in connecting adjacent cellular matrices and enabli.....»»
Tracing the evolution of sign languages using computer modeling
An international team of linguistics experts has traced the origins of the most common modern sign languages using a computer model to compare them against one another. The research is published in the journal Science......»»
Researchers develop method to map interactions of specific RNA regions in live cells
The interplay between ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins is not only important for maintaining cellular homeostasis but is also at the center of the tug-of-war between virus and host. Until now, there has been no method to globally map direct intera.....»»
“Can it run Doom?” (Gut bacteria edition)
Simulated 1-bit, 32x48 cellular grid runs at a blazing 0.00003 fps. Ramlan explains her bacterial grid display model and how it fits into the wider "Doom runs on everything" tradition. Here at Ars, we've covered versions of Doom run.....»»

Researchers reveal cellular architecture, phylogenetic position of protist Meteora sporadica
Meteora sporadica is a small, unicellular eukaryote (protist) that was discovered in deep Mediterranean sea sediments in 2002. It differs from known protists by the presence of two lateral arms that swing back and forth. However, the ultrastructure a.....»»
Researchers use ancient DNA to map migration during the Roman Empire
Throughout the thousand-year reign of the Roman Empire, disparate populations began to connect in new ways—through trade routes, economic and political collaboration, and joint military endeavors. Now, an international team led by Stanford Medicine.....»»
Protecting rice plants from heat when it attacks at nighttime
