A new study shows cells use dual RNA signals to control microRNA lifespan. This selective process protects gene regulation while enabling targeted RNA breakdown.

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Researchers have discovered that a long-overlooked feature of our cells plays an outsized role by filling a missing link in electrochemical processes DURHAM, N.C. -- Most biological chemistry research ...
