Cellular communication relies on receptor molecules on the cell surface. The periodic uptake and sorting of these receptors, critical for their degradation or recycling, are governed by an elaborate ...

The study, published in Nature Communications, shows a new mechanism whereby viruses modify cellular machinery so that it can better read the instructions in the genome of the invading virus. The ...

The COVID-19 virus hijacks the machinery of testicular cells that produce the hormone testosterone in order to replicate. It also appropriates the metabolic pathways of these cells and cholesterol, a ...

Researchers at California Polytechnic State University have developed a low-cost approach that improves cell-free biotechnology's utility for bio-manufacturing and portability for field applications.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery to multiply and spread, according to a study published in Nature ...
