The enzyme transhydrogenase plays a central role in regulating metabolic processes in animals and humans alike. Malfunction can lead to serious disorders. For…
“There are many benefits for why we should care about grasslands. They provide food for livestock, habitat for wildlife, prevent soil erosion, support…
Eben Alsberg, the Richard and Loan Hill Professor of Bioengineering and Orthopaedics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and colleagues report on a…
Epileptic seizures can happen to anyone. But how do they occur and what initiates such a rapid response? An international team of scientists led by Prof. Dr….
They are tiny signalling molecules that play important roles in many processes in living organisms. However, the exact function of these substances is often…
When water is scarce, plants can close their pores to prevent losing too much water. This allows them to survive even longer periods of drought, but with the…
For some time now, light signals have been used to alter the transcription of genetic information – and consequently protein synthesis directed by RNA…
Carbon nanoparticles are a promising tool for biomedical applications, for example for targeted transportation of biologically active compounds into cells. A…
The researchers will present their findings today at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2019 National Meeting & Exposition. ACS, the world's largest…
Water electrolysis could provide high-quality hydrogen gas that can be used in fuel cells directly. However, since noble metals, such as platinum and iridium,…
“We were surprised by the high rate of maturation achieved as we do not get such high rate (comparable to what we get with horse oocytes) with southern white…

How do you know a cell has a fever? Take its temperature.
Traditional medicines mostly function as inhibitors, attacking the disease-relevant proteins that cause cancer, by binding to their accessible pockets….
Cells rely on protein complexes known as ATP synthases or ATPases for their energy needs – adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules power most of the processes…
The western honey bee (Apis mellifera) that has a sting for use in defense is common in Western Europe. Stingless bees, on the other hand, are mainly at home…
