研究人员发现调控细胞蛋白质稳定性的生物机制
10-12-24 The cell signaling pathway known as Wnt, commonly activated in cancers, causes internal membranes（内膜） within a healthy cell to imprison（监禁，关押） an enzyme that is vital in degrading proteins, preventing the enzyme from doing its job and aff...

核糖核酸控制鼠类乳腺生长
10-11-10 Hormones, growth factors and several proteins ensure that development occurs in the right way, at the right time. The components that cause breast development in mammals, for example, were thought to be largely known. However, as a team of scientist...

基因转录3D影像拍摄成功
10-06-18 Gene expression takes place in two stages: the transcription of DNA to RNA by an enzyme（酶） called RNA polymerase（核糖核酸聚合酶） , , followed by the translation of this RNA into proteins, whose behaviour affects the characteristics of each indi...
