Keeping a cell’s powerhouse in shape
A team has investigated how a protein of the dynamin family deforms the inner mitochondrial membrane. The results also shed light on a hereditary disease of the optic nerve.

A detailed reconstruction of meteorite impacts resolves a longstanding problem and gives new insight into how the moon formed.
This research is a fundamental discovery of how to engineer proteins onto non-biological surfaces. Artificial proteins engineered from scratch have been assembled into nanorod arrays, designer filamen..
Peptides, one of the fundamental building blocks of life, can be formed from the primitive precursors of amino acids under conditions similar to those expected on the primordial Earth, finds a new stu..
Researchers have found that neural signatures in sleeping zebrafish are analogous to those of humans, suggesting that the brain activity evolved at least 450 million years ago, before any creatures cr..
Researchers have discovered how regenerative capacity of intestinal epithelium declines when we age. Targeting of an enzyme that inhibits stem cell maintaining signaling rejuvenates the regenerative p..
Researchers have identified, for the first time in esophageal cancer, the cancer killing capability of a lesser-known type of immune cell, presenting a new potential therapeutic target.
New research suggests that a better understanding of human behavior at night — when malaria mosquitoes are biting — could be key to preventing lingering cases.
The cellular composition of the liver is incompletely understood. Researchers have created a comprehensive map of all cell types in the healthy human liver using a method named single-cell RNA sequenc..
Using nature's color palette from early Earth, astronomers have created a cosmic 'cheat sheet' in order to understand where discovered exoplanets may fall along their own evolutionary s..
