Simulation makes it possible to study movements of cell's largest protein complexes without supercomputers
Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell’s most essential tasks, from energy production to the regulation of signal transmission. Although they can now be imaged in great detail using cryo-electron microscopy, it has long…

We discovered lethal new fungal diseases in wild Australian reptiles. It's time to act fast
When a coastal carpet python was brought into a wildlife hospital in South East Queensland in August 2024, vets were confronted with something they didn’t recognize. The python had damaged scales, crusted lesions across its body and a mysterious…

Vocal analysis and AI uncover two new Amazon antbirds in five-species complex
Scientists have discovered that a widely recognized Amazonian antbird is not one, but five distinct species—including two completely new to science. This revelation of hidden biodiversity was achieved by integrating artificial intelligence,…

Just three molecules can launch gene-silencing condensates in stem cells
A new study has uncovered how an exceptionally scarce protein can orchestrate the assembly of large-scale gene-silencing structures inside cells, and what happens when that process breaks down. The findings, published today in Molecular Cell,…

Influenza's molecular theft caught in action—how the virus steals the cap of host RNA in order to replicate
The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The influenza virus continues to pose a threat to our health. It triggers seasonal epidemics and, from time to time, potentially…

Evolution of new physical traits in mollusks has declined and grown more predictable over time
Paleobiologist Geerat Vermeij is enthralled with mollusks. Their shells line the surfaces and fill the cabinets and drawers in his office on the second floor of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Building at UC Davis. But Vermeij’s deep study of…

Understanding how cells take up and use isolated mitochondria to restore energy function
Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed during a cell’s life, but they also regulate cell death, calcium balance, and responses to stress. When mitochondria fail,…
