Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life.

A newly characterized anti-viral defense system in bacteria aborts infection through a novel mechanism by chemically altering mRNA.

Victor Ambros received half of the Nobel Prize for his work on microRNAs. Here he talks about the teamwork – and the nematodes – that made the discovery possible.

The earliest cells likely didn’t have membranes to separate and protect their components and chemistry away from a harsh surrounding environment. But they may have made do with rain.

Study reveals the drug, 5-fluorouracil, acts differently in different types of cancer — a finding that could help researchers design better drug combinations.

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their discovery of microRNAs, molecules that turn genes on and off – and cause disease when they go awry.

MIT scientists’ discovery yields a potent immune response, could be used to develop a potential tumor vaccine.

Genomics and lab studies reveal numerous findings, including a key role for Reelin amid neuronal vulnerability, and for choline and antioxidants in sustaining cognition.

By capturing short-lived RNA molecules, scientists can map relationships between genes and the regulatory elements that control them.

The origin of life on Earth is one of the biggest mysteries in science.
