In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...

For decades, biology textbooks have drawn a firm line: viruses are not alive. They lack the machinery to reproduce on their ...

Scientists in South Korea have made a breakthrough in colorectal cancer research, the second-most common cause of cancer casualties in the United States. The illness refers to an abnormal growth of ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

The tiny shell protecting the HIV virus resembles a slightly rounded ice cream cone, but there is nothing sweet about it. More than 40 million people worldwide live with AIDS because of this virus, ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a ...
