A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) represents a transformative technology in which the molecular machinery of transcription and translation is extracted from living cells and employed in a controlled ...

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is?

How did the building blocks of life come together to spawn the first organisms? Scientists just got a major clue. In a new study published in the journal Nature, a team of biologists say they've ...

Hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, the event is held on a near-annual basis to ...

Despite their fundamental differences, plants, animals, and fungi share certain metabolic processes. Biologists at the U.S.

A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that causes mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's patients resulting in a reduction of the supply of energy to the brain. A team of researchers at ...
