Nuclear magnetic resonance measurement and state-of-the-art computational science reveal protein structures in higher eukaryotic cells. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully ...

Organelles continue to thrive after the cells within which they exist die, scientists have found, overturning previous assumptions that organelles decay too quickly to be fossilized. Organelles ...

Researchers would like to better understand four-stranded RNA structures called RNA G-quadruplexes (RG4s), which are reported to play key roles in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Certain RNA ...

For billions of years after the origin of life, the only living things on Earth were tiny, primitive cells resembling today’s bacteria. But then, more than 1.5 billion years ago, something remarkable ...

Scientists have identified tubulin structures in primitive Asgard archea that may have been the precursor of our own cellular skeletons. In 2010, biologists made a shocking discovery. Living in the ...

Another potentially game-changing discovery has come out of the lab of Feng Zhang, PhD. This time, they uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes. Just a few months ago, the ...

Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully determined the high-resolution three-dimensional structure of proteins inside living eukaryotic cells. They combined "in ...
