Precursor components are synthesized inside the cell and then assembled by enzymes associated with the cell membrane (Figure 3). Plant cells additionally possess large, fluid-filled vesicles ...

INRS researchers have identified a new family of enzymes called Ssn, which can specifically cut single-stranded DNA. This ...

Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9—DPP8/9 for short. Among other things, they regulate inflammatory reactions and influence ...

Cancer drugs that inhibit CDK7 rapidly shut down pathways responsible for cell proliferation within minutes. For organs to ...

A common malaria drug could be repurposed to treat a variety of hematologic cancers and solid tumors, according to early ...

New research offers unprecedented insight into how an enigmatic enzyme, known as CDK7, drives the cell cycle and cell proliferation. For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate.

Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9 – DPP8/9 for short. Among other things, they ...

But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge. "This work addresses a long-standing mystery surrounding an enzyme critical for regulating the cell cycle ...

Moreover, h15-LOX-2 and other LOX enzymes may be involved in ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death associated with lipid peroxidation. In this case, inhibition of the enzyme may be ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

The question was whether it would work in cells. Unfortunately, one of the two enzymes turns out to be mildly toxic to E. coli, slowing its growth. So, the researchers evolved a strain of E.
