Neurons stochastically generated up to eight different versions of a protein-regulating neurotransmitter release, which could vary how they communicate with other cells.

The new approach could lead to intranasal vaccines for Covid-19 and other respiratory diseases.

Researchers compared a pair of superficially similar motor neurons in fruit flies to examine how their differing use of the same genome produced distinctions in form and function.

A single protein can self-assemble to build the scaffold for a biomolecular condensate that makes up a key nucleolar compartment.

SMART researchers find the enzyne RlmN, which directly senses chemical and environmental stresses, can be targeted in drug development.

Many of the amino acids that make up proteins are encoded by genetic material in more than one way. An information theorist explains how principles of nature may account for this variance.

Until now, researchers have not known much about the first steps of insulin synthesis, but a new study solves part of the mystery.

Whitehead Institute researchers find many transcription factors bind RNA, which fine-tunes their regulation of gene expression, suggesting new therapeutic opportunities.

A new technology called RIBOmap can give researchers valuable insight into how protein production in animal and human tissue is altered in disease.
