Nine-month-old brains-in-a-dish and the brains of premature newborn babies generate similar electrical patterns, as captured by electroencephalogram (EEG)—the first time such brain activity has been achieved in a cell-based laboratory model

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

Potential for new drug to prevent colorectal cancer tumors

Duke researchers show that activating the adenosine receptor A2B not only halts but reverses bone deterioration in mouse models of osteoporosis

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

New method enables the identification and enrichment of individual selected molecules in a sample in order to investigate their cellular function

Of all the proteins deposited to the Electron Microscopy Data Bank from 2016-18, more than 50 percent were solved at intermediate resolution

Salk scientists discover a pair of enzymes that drive non-small-cell lung cancer by promoting inflammation

Researchers find that several genetic disorders, including MUC1 kidney disease, may share a novel molecular mechanism—and identify a promising therapeutic lead
