When a cell gets ready to divide, it shuts down its gene-reading machinery almost entirely. For decades, the mechanism behind that shutdown was only partially understood. A new study co-led by Alarcón ...

BENGALURU: Scientists from IISc’s Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology (MCB) have found a way to use blue light to ...

A previously unknown protein, hidden in RNA thought not to encode proteins, helps cells divide correctly. The RNA molecule ...

High-risk MDS stem cells appear to have an unexpected “energy addiction,” relying far more heavily than healthy blood-forming cells on a molecule called NAD. Disrupting this energy pathway selectively ...

Modern technologies have made it possible to uncover a growing "hidden proteome"—proteins encoded by parts of the genome that ...
