Proteins’ Role in Salmonella Survival Within Macrophages Revealed by Study
Researchers uncover the survival strategy of Salmonella within macrophages, revealing the role of TamAB proteins in navigating and thriving in the typically hostile environment.
Researchers Discover How Coronavirus Causes Cytokine Storm at the Molecular Level
Over the last four years, the virus behind the emergence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), namely SARS-CoV-2, has impacted over 770 million individuals worldwide, resulting in a staggering death toll exceeding 6.9 million. The profound impact of SARS-CoV-2 is frequently linked to its capacity to dampen the interferon (IFN) response while concurrently triggering the production of diverse cytokines.
The Repair of Damaged DNA by Photolyase Isolates Using Light: Two Methods to Demonstrate It
Two separate teams of bio-researchers have independently devised processes to illustrate how photolyase isolates utilize light to mend damaged DNA. Both teams have documented their findings in papers published in the journal Science, employing a stop-motion-animation-like approach to meticulously capture and detail the repair mechanism.
Ribosome: Essential Machinery of Protein Synthesis
The ribosome is a vital cellular structure responsible for protein synthesis. Composed of RNA and proteins, it translates genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid sequences that form proteins. Ribosomes exist in all living cells and play a fundamental role in biological processes. Understanding their structure and function offers insights into diseases and potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
