The immune cells of the central nervous system are known as microglia. Because they remove poisons from the brain and central nervous system, microglia are essential for preserving neuronal function.

Although embryonic cells exhibit amazing adaptability at this dynamic stage of early development, it is still unknown what molecular mechanisms and variables govern this plasticity.
An ion channel, a protein that creates a passageway for electrical charges to flow through the protective outer membrane, is present in these vesicles, according to a recent study conducted by a group of medical researchers at The Ohio State University
Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark and the UW Medicine Institute for Protein Design are spearheading a computational biology initiative to find more effective antivenom treatments.
The researchers utilized a few synthetic DNA strands to create the building blocks of DNA tiles for their investigation.
The active ingredient in the diabetes and weight-loss medications Wegovy and Ozempic is semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide receptor (GLP-1R) molecule that reduces appetite and aids in blood sugar regulation in type 2 diabetes.
Glycolysis is one of the most fundamental metabolic pathways found in nearly all living organisms. In glycolysis, a simple sugar (glucose) is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process takes place in the cell cytoplasm and is the first step in both aerobic […]
What is Micro RNA or miRNA? Micro RNAs belong to small non-coding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of gene expression. These short RNA sequences, typically of around 20-25 nucleotides, have emerged as important regulators of biological processes, ranging from cell development to the development of disease, with much importance […]
Two distinct discoveries are recognised for the 2024 Chemistry Nobel Prize, yet as you shall see, they are closely related. We must go all the way back to the early days of modern biochemistry in order to comprehend the struggles that this year’s laureates have faced.
The discovery of a crucial regulatory mechanism that cells utilize to regulate gene activity is the main focus of this year’s Nobel Prize.
