In recent decades, with exponential advancement in the fields of genomics, molecular biology and virology, several scientists have taken to looking into the evolutionary twists and turns that have resulted in eukaryotic cells, the type of cell that makes up most life forms today. Here's an updated hypothesis from Professor Takemura.

In their new paper, researchers have used machine learning together with experimental NMR data for hundreds of proteins to build a new bioinformatics tool called ODiNPred. This bioinformatics program can help other researchers making the best possible predictions of which regions of their proteins are rigid and which are likely to be flexible.

With the help of artificial intelligence, researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified a DNA activation code that’s used at least as frequently as the TATA box in humans.

Researchers at the Salk Institute have demonstrated the importance of key enzymes in the body for metformin's function. In addition, they showed that the same enzymes, regulated by metformin, controlled aspects of inflammation using a mouse model.

Gut microbes affect human health, but there is still much to learn, in part because they’re not easy to collect. But researchers now report that they have developed an ingestible capsule that in rat studies captured bacteria and other biological samples while passing through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Scientists have discovered a new way to kill some multiplying human breast cancer cells by selectively attacking their cell division machinery.

Hundreds of innovators, research pioneers, clinicians, industry leaders and policy makers from all around Europe are united by a vision of how to revolutionize healthcare. In two publications, they present a detailed roadmap of how to leverage the latest scientific breakthroughs and technologies over the next decade, to track, understand and treat human cells throughout an individual's lifetime.

In photosynthesis, solar energy is converted into chemical energy, which is then used in nature to produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide. In plants, algae and cyanobacteria, the key photosynthesis reactions take place in two complex structures known as photosystems. These are located in a special membrane system, the thylakoids. Many details of their molecular structure and the way the proteins are incorporated into the membranes have yet to be explored - until now.

Scientists develop a pocket-sized tool for rapidly identifying various mosquito-borne diseases in resource-constrained clinical environments.

Research approach provides the foundations for scientists to be able to prevent genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from reproducing with wild organisms.
