“The surprise was that each subcomplex needs to touch many other subcomplexes to be functional."

Findings counter prevailing ideas about the forces driving genome evolution

Work could help scientists better understand signaling between cells, and provide insights for designing new classes of therapeutics

Research could pave the way to potential new treatments

Finding goes against decades of textbook drawings of what people thought the replisome should look like

Computational models suggest new design for nanoparticles used in targeted drug delivery

The older we get, the less likely we are to hear well, as our inner ear sensory hair cells succumb to age or injury. Intriguingly, humans are one-upped by fish here. Similar hair cells in a fish sensory system that dots their bodies and forms the lateral line, by which they discern water movement, are readily regenerated if damage or death occurs.

Data from 20 million cells collected by U of T researchers to develop detailed cell map.

University of Adelaide research has uncovered how the metal cadmium, which is accumulating in the food chain, causes toxicity in living cells.

Facing a challenge akin to solving a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle while blindfolded—and without touching the pieces—many structural biochemists thought it would be impossible to determine the atomic structure of a massive cellular machine called the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which is vital for cell survival.
