Business as usual … on the edge: Neuronal outgrowths do their own maintenance
Understanding how mRNA localization changes during healthy brain functions and pathological conditions.
Moving messengers making their way to the limelight
Every gene found in our DNA exerts its action via the activity of its encoded protein product. However, the synthesis of the protein cannot take place directly from the gene. An intermediate messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule is first produced from the gene via a process...
Insights into cataract-causing mutations
Researchers studied two important protein mutations that are known to cause cataracts, and hope that their improved understanding will help in future treatment plans.
Developing artificial enzymes using computers
Artificial enzymes promise to not only help us understand the complex functioning of enzymes, but will create a new generation of biosystems for sustainable chemistry practices.
Understanding human aging with the help of a worm
The lifespan of C. elegans, an organism that responds to cellular stress in a similar way to humans, can be extended by activating a mechanism initiated by glial cells in the brain.
