Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

The Sun, through its distant activity, could contribute to earthquakes. A theoretical study examines this unexpected idea. It ...

Teeth are composites of mineral and protein, with a bulk of bony dentin that is highly porous. This structure allows teeth to ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ionosphere, it may generate electric fields that penetrate fragile fracture ...

One way cancer specialists detect the disease is by examining cells and bodily fluids under a microscope, a time-consuming ...

Clinicians frequently rely on expert opinions, which are sometimes later disproven by randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

Cochlear implant surgery helps people with severe hearing loss by placing an electronic device inside the inner ear. To reach the inner ear, surgeons must first remove part of a bone behind the ear, ...

Respiratory supercomplex formation relieves molecular strain of mitochondrial membranes and reshapes global protein motions, linking membrane reorganization to respiratory function.
