Researchers have now shed light on how bacteria and baker's yeast generate and use their energy to grow. Knowing about cells' energy use is essential for industrial biotech processes

Discovery may eventually lead to the development of new kinds of non-opioid pain relievers

Study may help lead to drugs aimed at diabetes and obesity

Existing approaches to testing potential treatments through drug screening do not take account of the fact that the genetic errors that cause kidney diseases vary from patient to patient

A recent peer-reviewed, observational study conducted in cells has shed light on the mechanisms behind autophagy and how it progresses

In mice, new compound lifts molecular ‘brakes’ that normally slow the regeneration of blood stem cells

Researchers found that increasing the production of a key protein increases photosynthesis by 10 percent

Australia-UK researchers identify ancient protein pumps that make bacteria tough to treat—but could be key to new green polymers

Researchers discovered that some pancreatic tumors produce more of a molecule called 'perlecan' to remodel the environment around them, helping cancer cells spread more easily to other parts of the body

The drug, an experimental compound called PTC596, has a durable half-life and can evade a pump that many cancer cells use to expel drugs
