12-10-24 A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) has found more evidence for the preservation of ancient dinosaur proteins, including reactivity to antibodies that target specific proteins normally...

12-10-09 Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have mapped the precise frequency by which genes get turned on across the human genome, providing new insight into the most fundamental of cellular processes -- and revealing new clues as to what happens when t...

12-05-22 Proteins are widely used as drugs -- insulin for diabetics（糖尿病） is the best known example -- and as reagents（试剂） in research laboratories, but they react poorly to fluctuations in temperature and are known to degrade in storage. Because of...

12-05-21 A collaboration between Lehigh University physicists and University of Miami biologists addresses an important fundamental question in basic cell biology: How do living cells figure out when and where to grow? The study, Oscillatory Dynamics of Cdc4...

12-05-15 Research groups from Iowa State University and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have uncovered the function of three plant proteins, a discovery that could help plant scientists boost seed oil production in crops, thereby benefitting the pr...

12-04-25 One of the greatest mysterious in cellular biology has been given a new twist thanks to findings reported in Science. Researchers at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute show that prions（小蛋白粒） , proteins that transmit heritable information withou...

12-03-20 A new method to reveal the structure of proteins could help researchers understand biological molecules -- both those involved in causing disease and those performing critical functions in healthy cells. For roughly a decade, a technique called soli...

11-10-28 Researchers have built a map that shows how thousands of proteins in a fruit fly cell communicate with each other. This is the largest and most detailed protein interaction map of a multicellular organism（多生物细胞） , demonstrating how approximat...

11-10-13 Plants do not have eyes or legs, yet they are able to see and move toward and away from light. This ability, called phototropism（趋光性） , is controlled by a series of molecular-level signals between proteins inside and between plant cells. In a p...

11-06-11 By digging a little deeper, researchers may have found a potential target for reversing the deadly blood infection sepsis（败血症） . Scientists at the University of Michigan Health System looked at microRNA, a type of RNA that does not code for a p...
