Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more ...

Biochemistry and cell biology investigate the molecular underpinnings of life, spanning the structure, function and interplay of biomolecules within cells. At its core, biochemistry elucidates the ...

From personalized vaccines to next-generation screening technologies, the ways the world treats and detects cancer could shift dramatically in the coming years. But there are many challenges ahead, as ...

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer. "We ...

E3 ligases are enzymes that act as molecular "broker" by binding specific target proteins and coordinating the transfer of ubiquitin from an E2 enzyme. As an E3 ligase recognizes only a restricted set ...

Cancer cells thrive in an environment deprived of oxygen and nutrients, adapting to survive and grow. Unlike normal cells, they rely on a process called aerobic glycolysis, or the Warburg effect, to ...
