Chinese scientists create modified fungus that tastes like meat, produces protein quickly, and uses 70 percent less land.

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Rethinking how cells use genes Cells have several ways to make different versions of a protein, but the variation that Cheeseman and Ly study happens during protein production from genetic code.

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase a key brain protein damaged in Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects thousands of children worldwide. Early studies in mice and ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Can fungi influence the weather? Turns out, they just might. An international group of researchers that includes Virginia ...
