Scientists are investigating how exercise-triggered stress reshapes the cell’s energy systems, and whether those same mechanisms could eventually help counter metabolic disease. Don’t like the gym?

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

How are sugars attached to proteins? Sugars are commonly attached to proteins in a process called glycosylation. This fascinating modification involves linking sugar molecules to specific amino acids ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.
